MDI children always maximized?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

How do I make sure that all MDI children inside a 
CXTPTabClientWnd are always maximized - no matter what?

I have tried to override both PreCreateWindow and ActivateFrame:

BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
    cs.style &= ~(WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX);
    if (!CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs))
        return FALSE;
    return TRUE;
}

void CChildFrame::ActivateFrame(int nCmdShow /* = -1 */)
{
    nCmdShow = SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED;
    CMDIChildWnd::ActivateFrame(nCmdShow);
}

This works until the user preses the close button of one of the MDI frames. Then the remaining children are restored!

Any ideas? Thanks.

	After reading https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=226 I found the optimal solution: Just like Oleg writes, do this in CMainFrame::OnCreate(): pCommandBars->GetMenuBar()->SetFlags(xtpFlagHideMinimizeBox \| xtpFlagHideMaximizeBox); Then add this in each child frame: void CChildFrame::ActivateFrame(int nCmdShow /* = -1 */) { nCmdShow = SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED; CMDIChildWnd::ActivateFrame(nCmdShow); } Lol... it's always like this. You google like a freak and you find nothing. Then you post the question somewhere, and in the next couple of minutes you stumble upon the solution.
