Code to Dock A maintenance form

[SBarnes]

What is the necessary code to dock and undock a maintenance form and where is a form being shown should the code go to make it be docked when shown?

I have the following code in a form shown event

Code: Select all

         this.MdiParent = null;
         this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
         this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
         this.MdiParent = Manager.MDIParentForm;

And this works fine when the form is shown but without the following code in a SetupBeforeHandlers, the form jumps as soon as you click in a JiwaGrid and the ribbon disappears up under the title bar of the mdi frame.

Code: Select all

      public override void SetupBeforeHandlers()
      {

         base.SetupBeforeHandlers();
         this.MdiParent = Manager.MDIParentForm;

      }

You don't need that code in the shown handler - you just need what you already have below in the overridden SetupBeforeHandlers method:

Code: Select all

      public override void SetupBeforeHandlers()
      {

         base.SetupBeforeHandlers();
         this.MdiParent = Manager.MDIParentForm;

      }
