How to initialize a child frame window in full screen mode? :-D

Try this (where pChild is the child):

CRect rectSave;
pChild->GetWindowRect(&rectSave);
pChild->SetParent(NULL);
pChild->ModifyStyle(WS_CHILDWINDOW, WS_OVERLAPPED);
pChild->ModifyStyleEx(WS_EX_STATICEDGE,WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE,SWP_FRAMECHANGED);

  WINDOWPLACEMENT wp;
  memset(&wp,0,sizeof(wp));
  wp.length = sizeof(wp);
  wp.ptMaxPosition.x = wp.ptMaxPosition.y = 0;
  wp.rcNormalPosition = rectSave;
  wp.showCmd = SW\_MAXIMIZE;

pChild->SetWindowPlacement(&wp);

When you're done being full screen, just reverse the process (restore previous size and styles, make a child again).
