on the Child's minimize event:<br />
<br />
StatusBar1.Parent := MainForm; // I assume that MainForm is the variable name for the MDI parent<br />
<br />
and on the restore:<br />
<br />
StatusBar1.Parent := Self;

on the Child's minimize event:

StatusBar1.Parent := MainForm; // I assume that MainForm is the variable name for the MDI parent

and on the restore:

StatusBar1.Parent := Self;

Thanks, DragonSlayer, but this is just hiding the stasudbar, not moving it from one window to another...

Put a status bar on the main form, keep it in sync with the SB from the active child, hide it when the child is normal-sized, show it when the child is maximized. Hide the child SB when maximized, show it back when normal-sized (reverse of main SB behavior).<br />

I want to move the statusbar from mdi child to main mdi form when maximized and back to child when restored. But it seem like setting the parent will only hide the statusbar not show it on the other window. The status bar is alligned at bottom. Thanks.
