I know , it may be difficult or rather boring to see this kind of post, but i have tried in various ways, yet could not get what i wanted.
I will explain in simple terms , so that i might get some reply.
what i want is to display all windows with the borders no matter they are in MinimumSize or MaximumSize.
the problem here is when it is in MinimumSize the windows DispWin, and LogWin are not completely seen, the KeyWin overlaps these two windows.
when Maximized every thing is seen with border.I want the same look that shows in MinimumSize state even if the window is in MinimumSize, ofcourse the windows are small , but should be able to see full windows.
