GodForsakenSoul Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 my research atm goes like this: 1) find some relevant post 2) try understanding it 3) finding some code in the aformentioned post 4) fiddling with it 5) failing to acheive what i want. and what is it that i want? well, in VB i can have a window acting as a parent, and the child window has two distictions: 1) it can not be dragged out of the parent 2) when maximized, it fills the parent, instead of the whole screen. that's currently what i'm after. i have yet to fulfil a single goal. suggestions? also, please either link me to a dllcall help thing or avoid it alltogether, as i can not begin to grasp that idea.

Moderators Melba23 Posted September 15, 2010 Moderators Share Posted September 15, 2010 GodForsakenSoul, Take a look at this topic where I show how to create MDI children which: 1) can not be dragged out of the parent 2) when maximized, fill the parent, instead of the whole screen There is also a little wrinkle to prevent them being moved when maximised. Please ask if you have any questions. M23 P.P. We never did find an answer to the locking problem mentioned at the end of the thread - so do not ask about that!
