Why doesn'tthis code snippet work properly? Form2 is an MDI child in an MDI main form. It only fails to maximise properly the first time it is opened. If the form is restored then maximised, it maximised properly. When another Form2 is opened, it maximises properly first time (though with a graphical glitch of the restored-sized window). Another point, when it is maximised, the right hand window edge is still visible (I've noticed this edge in the Scribble sample as well). Have I done something wrong?

void InitializeComponent(void)
{
this->SuspendLayout();
this->AutoScaleMode = System::Windows::Forms::AutoScaleMode::Font; // Messes up maximisation when opening form
this->ClientSize = System::Drawing::Size(284, 264);
this->Name = L"Form2";
this->Text = L"Form2";
this->WindowState = System::Windows::Forms::FormWindowState::Maximized; // Doesn't maximize properly when using AutoScale::Font or AutoScale::Dpi. (Inherit and None modes cause no problem though.)
this->ResumeLayout(false);
}

It's the same old bug as in MFC.

How do you do this in .NET?

if( !CMDIFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )

return FALSE;

// TODO: Modify the Window class or styles here by modifying

// the CREATESTRUCT cs

cs.style = WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_CAPTION | FWS_ADDTOTITLE

| WS_THICKFRAME | WS_SYSMENU | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX | WS_MAXIMIZE;

return TRUE;
