How can I start the UltraDockManager with a maximized MDI window?

Hello. This may be a silly question for some of you, but so far I couldn't find the answer. I have a simple form which contains an UltraToolbarsManager and an UltraDockManager, as one can see in the first picture attached. What I want to is to start the form with one of its two MDI windows in the center, ultraDayView1 for example, maximized. Of course, I can maximize it after the form has appeared, but ... as a user, I would prefer the see the whole form filled with something. What is the property, or the combination of properties, to set in order to have this behaviour, to start with a MDI window maximized? I am looking forward to an answer. Thanks in advance.

The property is WindowState. Set it to: FormWindowState.Maximized

Thanks for the prompt response. Unfortunately, still no success. :( The only two classes from the Infragistics.Win.UltraWinDock namespace that have the WindowState property are MdiChildForm and FloatingWindowContainer. I can't cast the parent of the DockableControlPane which I want to maximize to a MdiChildForm, nor the parent of the corresponding DockAreaPane to a FloatingWindowContainer, because these are incompatible types ... One thing I could do, and this is casting the parent of the control which I want in a maximized window (an UltraGroupBox) to a MdiChildForm. But this issued an error at runtime, basically saying that this cast, DockableWindow to MdiChildForm, is invalid. So ... which one is the correct object to set its WindowState property to Maximized and how can I get to it, starting from the UltraDockManager object? Thanks.
