Resizing Child forms to different sizes in MDI Application-Please help

[Harini]

Hello,

I have an MDI application in which I have one Mainscreen and two child forms. when I double click on the title bar of one of the child forms then the Form_Resize() event of the second form is getting called. Can any body tell me why it is happening and how to avoid it. The code that I wrote in the Form_Resize() event of the both the forms (Form1 & Form2) is as follows.


Dim iWidth as Integer, iHeight as Integer
Dim iTop as Integer, iLeft as Integer
Dim bMax as Boolean
bMax = false
If me.WindowState = vbMaximized And Not bMax then
me.Hide
bMax = true
me.WindowState = vbNormal
me.width = MainScreen.width / 1.4
me.height = 2.4 / 3 * MainScreen.height
me.top = MainScreen.top + MainScreen.height / 50
me.left = MainScreen.left + MainScreen.width / 3.8
me.Show
ElseIf bMax = true And me.WindowState = vbMaximized then
me.Hide
me.WindowState = vbNormal
me.width = iWidth
me.height = iHeight
me.top = iTop
me.left = iLeft
bMax = false
me.Show
ElseIf Not bMax then
iWidth = me.width
iHeight = me.height
iTop = me.top
iLeft = me.left
End If



MainScreen is the name of the MDI parent form.

I have written the above code in the Resize event to bring the form to the size that I want when double clicked on the form titlebar. I want to hide/show the form to avoid the flickering effect on the screen.


Thanks

I tried a simple experiment, but couldn't simulate the behavior you report
I put a MDI form, and two child forms Form1 and Form2

In MDIForm1

private Sub MDIForm_Load()
Dim aForm as Form1, bForm as Form1, cForm as Form2
set aForm = new Form1
aForm.Tag = "First A"
aForm.Show
set bForm = new Form1
bForm.Tag = "First B"
bForm.Show
set cForm = new Form2
cForm.Tag = "Second"
cForm.Show
End Sub




In Form1,

private Sub Form_Resize()
MsgBox "Resized " & me.Tag
End Sub




It always resizes only the form whose title bar I double clicked.

Hello Shree,

Thank you for your prompt response. I have also made a sample MDI application, with two child forms, which behaves in the way I have mentioned. When one form's title bar is dbl-clicked the other ones resize event is called.

Can you please let me know if there is any way in which I can send you the sample application. It would be great of help if I can send you the sample application.

Thanks
Harini
