If the theme of your Windows 7 is 'Windows 7 Basic' and you have a RadForm as an mdi child., when you maximize this form, you will notice that there is a gap of several pixels between the parent form title bar and the client part of the child form. This can be worked around as shown below: Public Class MDIParent Public Sub New() InitializeComponent() End Sub Dim shouldGetSavedSize As Boolean = False Dim suspendResize As Boolean = False Dim formSize As Drawing.Size = Size.Empty Private Sub RadButton1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadButton1.Click Dim form As RadForm = New RadForm form.MdiParent = Me form.Show() formSize = form.Size AddHandler form.Resize, AddressOf Form_Resize AddHandler form.SizeChanged, AddressOf Form_SizeChanged End Sub Private Sub Form_SizeChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim form As RadForm = DirectCast(sender, RadForm) If Not form.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized Then If suspendResize Then Return End If formSize = form.Size End If End Sub Private Sub Form_Resize(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim form As RadForm = DirectCast(sender, RadForm) If form.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized Then shouldGetSavedSize = True form.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None Else If shouldGetSavedSize Then shouldGetSavedSize = False suspendResize = True form.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.Sizable form.Size = formSize suspendResize = False End If End If End Sub End Class
