When I set the Size property on the VB.NET form properties pane to a
size of 800, 1200 the 1200 always resets back to 1036? Why is that?
When I open a child form in the MDI parent the only way the MDI
displays scroll bars if if the child form is not maximized and is
moved over the edge of the MDI. Is there a way to turn those scroll
bars on when the child form is maximized?
There is probably a Style bit you can set to accomplish this. But understand
this: even if the scroll bars are visible, there will be nothing to scroll.
If you are trying to scroll the child form, why don't you turn on the
scrollable propertys (AllowScroll, AutoScroll, AutoScrollMargin etc...) of
the child?
The MDI parent cares nothing about the child's controls, it only cares about
the child window- that is, if the child controls are hidden, the MDI parent
wont scroll the contents of the child.
