Hello Reader,

I have a doubt regarding one of the Start Position properties and it is as follow ...

In my simple Windows Application there is a Form1.

I set the IsMdiContainer property to True.
I set the Size property to 600,600
I set the StartPosition property to CenterScreen.

I add another Form, Form2 to my project by right-clicking the project and clicking Add Item and click
Windows Form.

I then double click the MainMenu control in the toolbox to create a MainMenu Item.
I type in File and then add a menu item New which I double click and write an event handler as follows ...

Dim NewMDIChild As New Form2
'Set the Parent Form of the Child window.

NewMDIChild.MdiParent = Me

'Display the new form.

NewMDIChild.Show()

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the Form2, I set the properties as follows ...

StartPosition Property - CenterParent

Size : 300,300

I was expecting the Form2 to be displayed in the Center of Form1 which is the parent of Form2, but it was displayed in the right hand top corner where location is 0,0.

What is wrong and what am I missing here.

Thank you for your patience.

kind regards,

Newbie
