Parent and child form maximize problem!!

  I believe the MDI application type will give you the behaviour you want...

  Hi Andrej,

  Thanks for the reply and the code, the textbox part works great, but I still have a question about the Forms part. How do I get FormB to move with FormA (the parent form) when it is moved.

  Thanks

  Jason

  Hi,

  here's full code for FormA, hope it answers some of your questions...

  public partial class FormA : Form
  {
      FormB childForm;

      public FormA()
      {
          InitializeComponent();
      }

      private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
      {
          // Only allow numbers
          int number;
          string character = e.KeyChar.ToString();
          if (int.TryParse(character, out number) == false && character != "\b")
          {
              e.Handled = true;
          }
      }

      private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          childForm = new FormB();
          childForm.Show();
      }

      private void FormA_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          if (childForm != null && WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
          {
              childForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
          }
      }
  }

  ... put a button and a textbox on a form and wire appropriate events to make it work...
