I do know a solution to your problem but with comments like yours to someone
that is trying to help I think I'll keep it to myself.

Hi Will,
do you honestly think that I have not thought of
your "solution"? And if that was working for me, do you
honestly think I would go to all the trouble of posting a
question? For various reasons, of which I mentioned one
(I need the extra space), I need a child window to
maximize like it is working on 99.99% of all PCs. To drag
it, does not maximize it. Hence it is NOT a solution. It
does not even give me the extra space I need. It also
does not solve the other problems I have with a window
that can not maximize. These I am not even going to
mention, because I really don't want to waste anyone's
time with that. You will simply have to trust me that
these problems actually do exist. I am trying to find a
solution, not a workaround. Simply put, I want to
Maximize a child window. This is not working. Do you
know how to fix this? If not, don't please don't post any
replies.
