I assume you are creating the child window with WinCreateStdWindow.  Why
not leave off the WS_VISIBLE style and the FCF_SHELLPOSITION frame control
flag, and then position the window however you like (including maximized)
with WinSetWindowPos.  Be sure to specify SWP_SHOW to make it visible.

Also, please be aware if you are using FCF_STANDARD that it includes
FCF_SHELLPOSITION, so you may need to AND out that bit.
