How to adjust MDI forms size according to screen size...?

  Hi...

  Thanks...

  But with this,I think i can only change my MDI parent size...How can I change my child forms size to fit inside the parent forms area & position the child from at (0, 0) according to MDI parent form.

  Thanks for your reply,

  Vinay

  There is no documented way to get the MDI client rectangle that I'm aware of. But there is an undocumented way. I'm not sure if you should use it, but here's code for an MDI child form that positions itself inside the parent as large as it fill fit without scroll bars:
  
  using System;
  using System.Drawing;
  using System.Windows.Forms;
  using System.Reflection;
  
  namespace WindowsApplication1 {
  public partial class Form2 : Form {
  public Form2() {
  InitializeComponent();
  }
  private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
  Type t = typeof(Form);
  PropertyInfo pi = t.GetProperty("MdiClient", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
  MdiClient cli = (MdiClient)pi.GetValue(this.MdiParent, null);
  this.Location = new Point(0, 0);
  this.Size = new Size(cli.Width - 4, cli.Height - 4);
  }
  }
  }

  Try this in your MDI parent:
  
  private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
  this.Location = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Location;
  this.Size = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Size;
  }
