Resizing a MDI child window programatically in maximized state

Question

Dear all,
I have a MFC MDI application in VS 2003. In one of my view classes, I am embedding an OCX control. I just need to provide an option to resize the view class(CView derived).  I tried the below code.
CRect rectClient;   
        GetClientRect(&rectClient);
        CRect r(0, 0, m_XVideoOCXCtrl.XGetWidth(), m_XVideoOCXCtrl.XGetHeight());
        GetParentFrame()->SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, 0,  r.Width() + CAM_DOUBLEBORDER, r.Height() + CAM_DOUBLEBORDER, SWP_SHOWWINDOW);
GetParentFrame()->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

This is working fine when my view(MDI Child window) class is not in the maximized state. But when i try to execute the same code in the maximized state, the view class is scaled to the correct size, but I am missing the control box of the window. Can any body tell, how can re size the MDI Child window perfectly in maximized state.

Try this

Call ShowWindow(SW_RESTORE) before resize
