<div>
sorry, good, not even a close hit.<br />
don't get confused by the term &quot;maximize&quot;! I want do do a Movewindow() with my own coords and size.<br />
question is: how do I get the maximum y size for my childwindows? GetClientRect() of parent window gives my size without tool-, scroll-, and statusbar...<br />

You had a pretty cryptic question and just 30 points, so what more can you expect ? I can't read your mind. Now that you have explained more about your problems here is a solution.<br />
<br />
The clientrect you get after using the technique I have explained earlier should be added to the other child window's clientrect's viz. Toolbar, statusbar , scrollbars or menu(if you want). This is the maximum client area of the AfxGetMainWnd(), so the x and y are the maximum sizes your childwindows can fit in.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'd like to maximze my ChildWindows (MDI app) during startup in vertical direction with fixed horizontal size. I try to get the y size by a call to AfxGetMainWnd-&gt;GetClientRe<wbr />ct(), but this size seems to be with tool and statusbar, so parts of my childwindows are occluded.<br />
How do I get the correct size to set my childwindows?

GetClientRect() without scrollbar and toolbar area?
