Hi, when I open a child form the controlbox (close, min, max icons) in my menu strip is on the left side instead of the right side, when LayoutStyle is set to "Flow". How can I fix that?

My VB.NET app supports several kinds of MDI child forms. Some kinds, but not others, are 'troublesome' -- they cause the focus mechanism to become weird. Once a 'troublesome' child form has been opened, NONE of the MDI child forms will become activated unless I click on either the title bar or the border. Clicking in the client area d...

Also, within the Form1, the focus will not leave a combobox even to set focus to another field o...

The result is that creating and pos...
