I've never tried maximizing a form view based application, and in fact I modify the code to prevent that since only the frame maximizes - the controls stay where originally placed and in their original size...it just looks bad in my opinion. Having said that, however, you may find your problem is caused by the view class. In a form view based app, the OnInitialUpdate in the view class contains the line
ResizeParentToFit();
This resizes the main frame to fit the form you created. As I say, I haven't done this, but perhaps if you comment out that line, you may succeed with your maximizing. Good luck.

I also think that resizing the form view without any other adjustments can end with unexpected issues in your controls or looking not so "nice". Anyways, have you tried to add the SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED to the default modes? I mean:
pMainFrame->ShowWindow(m\_nCmdShow | SW\_SHOWMAXIMIZED); pMainFrame->UpdateWindow();This is to be called in your
