About Minimise button

[sidanshu]

hi Experts there,
I am just trying to disable/enable the minimise button through code and use the property - Me.Minbutton = true
and get the error msg
Either Function is restricted or it uses an automation type not supported by VB.
Well if it works through properties box then what is the problem with code???
Please help
Thanks

MinButton is read-only at run-time.

paulbent is correct (usually is I've noticed) but here's a hokey little workaround.

Private Sub Form_Resize()
If Me.WindowState = vbMinimized Then Me.WindowState = vbNormal
End Sub

You will see the window shrink down to minimized and then pop back up to normal size. Not the best of solutions but it does keep the window from minimizing.

Another way is to remove or disable the Minimize command in the form's system menu at run-time.

There's a code example at:

The example is for the close option but it gives the menu constant at the end for minimize and can be easily adapted.
