| Hi All,
|
| I'm having some weird issues with an MDI application I'm writing in
VB.NET.
| Apologies for the cross post to the VB newsgroup as well as the winforms
| one, but I'm not sure whether they affect Windows Forms as a whole or just
| VB.NET MDI apps.
|
| Firstly, if I have a child window open and maximized, and I break while
| debugging and resume, I seem to end up with 2 control boxes (see
weird1.jpg,
| attached).  Okay, so this only happens whilst debugging, so it's not
really
| a serious issue, but it's strange nonetheless.
|
| Secondly, when an MDI child is first shown and it's maximized, I seem to
get
| the default .NET application icon in the top left instead of the icon that
| I've assigned to the form (see weird2.jpg, attached).  This happens
whether
| or not I'm debugging.  I've tried loading and displaying the MDI child in
| it's normal state first and then maximizing it programmatically, but it
| doesn't seem to fix it.  The only thing that does seem to cure it is if
the
| user restores/minimizes the MDI window, and then maximizes it again.  Then
| the correct icon is displayed.
|
| Anyone else experienced anything like this?  I'm not doing anything
unusual
| with the MDI Parent/Children that I'm aware of.
|
| Thanks,
| Alex Clark
