Forms not maximized on Windows 7

[Joris]

Hello,

I'm using the raddock in my mdi application and it works great.
However, when I run it on windows 7 I got a side effect: I've got a main form and several other forms that I load when I click on a button in the main form. When I load my form with the code below my form doesn't load maximized. When I change the property 'windowstate' on the form frmDemo to maximized it's showed maximized but I would like to do this by code..

On XP the application works without any problems.

So my question now, is it a programmer fault or a windows 7 telerik bug?

Greetz,
Joris

Dim frmDemo As New FrmDemo
frmDemo .MdiParent = Me
frmDemo .StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent
frmDemo .WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
frmDemo .Show()

Hi,

I've just tried the following code (where Form1 is the main form, and Form2 is the MDIChild) and everything is maximized.
I am running the latest version of the telerik controls (2010 Q2 914) and Windows 7 64bit in this case.

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
    Me.IsMdiContainer = True
    Me.RadDock1.AutoDetectMdiChildren = True
    Dim frmDemo As New Form2()
    frmDemo.MdiParent = Me
    frmDemo.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent
    frmDemo.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
    frmDemo.Show()
End Sub

The Form2 is lanched as a tabbed DockWindow as I would expect. And indeed these lines

frmDemo.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent
frmDemo.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized

make no difference in this case.

Is this what you mean?
Let me know if you need further help

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm using telerik controls 2010 Q1 so maybe it's that.
I will update my telerik controls and let you know if my problem is fixed.

Thanks in advance
