hello MR. thanks about your answaring about MDI FORM  but mabye can you explain me more clearly the answer because you said that Layout settings never take effect on Load / Constructor  and i`m understand this but i dont understand your example about the paint event Add the same code Paint event. example this.Paint +=new PaintEventHandler(this.Painter); ... .... .... private void Painter(object senderPaintEventArgs e) { this.LayoutMdi(MdiLayout.TileHorizontal); } thanks koby

Hi Layout settings never take effect on Load / Constructor. Add the same code Paint event. example this.Paint +=new PaintEventHandler(this.Painter); ... .... .... private void Painter(object senderPaintEventArgs e) { this.LayoutMdi(MdiLayout.TileHorizontal); }
