Hi,

I am developing an MDI appplication and the main form(parent)has a menu strip and a tool strip.
When child form is maximixed, its title bar is not visisble ,it seems it goes behind the main form's tool strip.but when it is restored down the title bar becomes visible.

Can anyone please help me in how to make the title bar visible even when the child form is maximized.

Thanks,
Dev.

I believe that's by design,when you maximize a child windows in MDI app its title bar becomes the app title bar. Have you considered using a label on top of your mdi child to display the title?

Refer following code:

C#

private void FormMDI_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Form2 objForm2 = new Form2();
            objForm2.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog;
            objForm2.ControlBox = false;
            objForm2.MdiParent = this;
            objForm2.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
            objForm2.Show();
        }

Hope this will help you.
