Hi MFC Experts:

I'm wetting a standard MFC MDI application and I have a need to make one of
the MDI child windows to be able to completely maximize itself to cover full
screen of a monitor. Any help is appreciated.

I know I can have a dialog box to do what I want, but I'd like to try if I
can do it with a normal MDI child (a FormView type).

Thanks in Advance
Polaris

Please ignore it. I found the solution: just set the parent for this MDI
child to Desktop then show it maximized.

Thanks
