I have some dll's with forms which are shown on a menu click in my MDI Parent form.  I have IsMdiContainer=True on the parent, and IsChildForm=True on the child.  I have MaximizeBox=True and MinimizeBox=True for both parent and child.  When I show the child form everything is fine unless I maximize it.  It maximizes within the parent, but I lose my form controls for minimize, restore, and closing the form.  These should show up somewhere shouldn't they?  I don't have a menu bar on the parent, is this the issue?  And if so, can I get around it?  Right now, I can't maximize forms unless I want them to always be maximized...and also, if I click on the parent Close X and a child form is showing, it will the child form on top instead of closing the entire parent.

Oh, and this was the code in Form1:

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim loForm As New Form2()
        loForm.Show()
        loForm.MdiParent = Me
        Me.ActivateMdiChild(loForm)
    End Sub
End Class

And I tried it by setting the MdiParent property on Form2 before showing it and got the same results.
