How do I Detect Parents WindowState.
How Can A Usercontrol Detect Changes In The Windowstate Of Its Parent?

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION.
How can a UserControl detect changes in the WindowState of its parent / containing form??
Yes I know I could call the usercontrol from the Forms resize event passing the new parent WindowState. But I'm looking for a way of intercepting the changes without having the user controls parent do any coding.
In essence I want to pick up the parents window change event from within the "child" usercontrol. Solution must be VB based.
Any ideas ? Any thoughts would be most welcome.
Many thanks,
Tim

Sorry I should have made the question clearer.
When I said "INTERCEPTING" I meant just that, not detecting later. In other words I want the usercontrol to be alerted or detect the Parent form windowstate change AS IT HAPPENS not next time the UserControl is invoked.
Put another way I want the usercontrol to be aware contemporaniously of the Parents Resize event triggering.
This is a toughy but if we could solve it , it would have a lot of applications.
Many thanks for the thoughts. Keep up the good work.
