Making a form non resizeable.............

[tomcoombs]

I have a normal form, how do I get rid of the minimise, max and close squares at the top?


Thanks

Tom

Take a look at the properties of your form - there are boolean properties for MinimizeBox & MaximizeBox to turn them on and off. I don't know how to remove the Close box - you can probably just override the Closing event and set the Cancel property in the CancelEventArgs parameter to true to cause the close box to be ignored.

To prevent resizing, look at the FormBorderStyle property. It's an enumeration that allows you to set your form to one of:

Fixed3D
FixedDialog
FixedSingle
FixedToolWindow
None
Sizable
SizableToolWindow

if you set the ControlBox property to false, you will get rid of all three buttons.

Thanks, seanbo. I don't do a lot of GUI work, so I didn't know that.
