Hi,

I think the best way is to create an application in the most common resolution and that's 800x600. The raison for that is to handle smaller rsolutions and then resize it based on the screen object.

You can try then this paart of code:

Dim h, w As Integer
h = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height
w = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width
Me.Width = w
Me.Height = h
Me.CenterToScreen()

or

Dim h, w As Integer
h = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height
w = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width
Me.Width = w
Me.Height = h
Me.CenterToScreen()

Hi,

How did you created your MDI application and do you open a ChildForm?

See if this helps.

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Me.IsMdiContainer = True
        Dim mdiForm As New Form
        mdiForm.MdiParent = Me
        '///////////////////
        mdiForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized '// Maximize the MDI Form.
        '///////////////////
        mdiForm.Show()
    End Sub
End Class

you should use Docking, Anchoring Properties of the controls.
