Add style WS_MAXIMIZE to the style of the createwindow function of the MDI client window.


<div>
Do I have to use CreateWindow? <br />
<br />
In CChildFrame::PreCreateWind<wbr />ow I added <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; cs.style |= WS_MINIMIZE; &nbsp;<br />
and it works as I would expect<br />
<br />
If I use <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;cs.style |=WS_MAXIMIZE; <br />
it seems to have no effect<br />
<br />
<br />
BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWind<wbr />ow(CREATES<wbr />TRUCT&amp; cs)<br />
{<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; cs.style |= WS_MINIMIZE; &nbsp;// this works <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; return CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWin<wbr />dow(cs);<br />
}<br />
<br />
BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWind<wbr />ow(CREATES<wbr />TRUCT&amp; cs)<br />
{<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;cs.style |=WS_MAXIMIZE; // this doesn't work<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;return CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWin<wbr />dow(cs);<br />
}<br />

In CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow I added
    cs.style |= WS_MINIMIZE;  
and it works as I would expect

If I use
   cs.style |=WS_MAXIMIZE;
it seems to have no effect


BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
    cs.style |= WS_MINIMIZE;  // this works
    return CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs);
}

BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
   cs.style |=WS_MAXIMIZE; // this doesn't work
   return CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs);
}

At application startup time how do I open a MDI document maximized? Currently I open the document and then maximize it, but it uses a graphics view &nbsp;so it flashes a bit. I would rather it was already maximized before any graphics are being displayed.<br />

Thanks, Eric
