Can you, in the FormShow, post the form a Resize message ... should arrive late
enough - hopefully.

I have found that if you have a fairly complex form with lots of nested
panels, then maximising a form when the application starts seems to
fail, and things get left behind. I have a panel in the back containg
all of the components and then do the following.
pBack.Align := alNone;
WindowsState := wsMaximised;
pBack.Align := alClient;
"pBack" is the background panel.
You may need a ProcessMessages.
I have also found that anchors really stuff when you resize a form on
creatio, but if you have an Aligned Panel with anchored controls on it
the anchors work fine.

Subject: [DUG] Window maximised in the slightly Claytons sense
I have an app that I want to start off maximised so I set the
main form WindowState to wsMaximized at design time. (Delphi 6 pro)
On my screen, winXP pro with all possible display options set
to "windows classic", this is fine.
On other machines, winXP and all possible defaults left just
as they were installed, the top of the form sits below the
top of the screen and more than half of the status bar on my
main form sits behind that big chunky 3D start bar. If I
normalize and maximize, bingo, just like a bought one, just
what I would've wanted at the beginning.
Can anyone tell me what's going wrong? I put a lot of really
useful stuff
(IMOhSoHO) in that status bar [bottom lip out and quivering;
arms folded; head turned away].
