One, from hat you've shown, you shouldn't be using MDI at all.

Second, if you have just ONE child form maximized in MDI, ALL child forms are maximized. This will resize your forms to fill the MDI client area. You cannot turn that behavior off. Like I said, nothing you're shown justifies using MDI at all.

Next, it looks like your controls on your form are not docked/anchored/in proper containers to properly control their layout. It looks like you just dropped your controls on the form and did nothing to control their layout.
