So I am creating my own Minimize Maximize and Exit buttons. I have both exit and Minimized done, but I am having a problem with my Maximize button. I want it to maximize on click, then if clicked again I want it to go back to normal state. The code I wrote for it is below, I must be missing something as it does maximize but quickly goes back to normal state without clicking it.

Private Sub MaxBtn_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MaxBtn.Click
        Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
        If Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized Then
            Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
        End If
    End Sub

Suggestions are welcome!

If you maximize it first and then go to the if statement, isn't that always going to be true? You are telling the window to be maximized and then saying "If you are maximized, go to normal".

You need it in an if/else statement. If windowstate is maximized, make it normal, else maximize it.

        NormBtn.Visible = True
        If Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal Then
            Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
        Else
            Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
        End If
    End Sub

Thanks a million Marty! I am still learning, self teaching. Trying to build this application but its painstaking When I haven't a clue how to approach most of the ideas I have for it. Figured this one out tho thanks for the direction mate!

It also help to learn a few basic debugging skills.

Will do that Adam Thanks. Like I said all new to me but rest assured I am wanting to learn it not have anyone do it for me. I will learn it as I go I guess as I cannot afford to school for it so here I am! Thanks for the support folks.

No fun! Guess I'll have to learn through trial and error, which is pretty much what I am already doing lol. Thanks Adam
