Deny resizing on form?

[jPaulB]

Hi,

I want to make a child-window fixed... not allow a user to expand/contract the child-window size.

Which form property controls that?

Thanks

It's BorderStyle. Set it to FixedSingle (I think it's called, I know it's option 1, while Sizable, the default, is 2) and they can't change the size.

Don't forget to reset Min Button back to True, though. Changing to FixedSingle sets Min and Max Button to false automatically.

Don't forget to reset Min Button and Max Button to True, though. Changing to FixedSingle sets them false.

I'd Leave the max button to false.. if your creating a form that is not for resizing.

But otherwize your 100% right..

Doh. Yeah, might want to leave Max Button false.

Thanks for pointing that out.

You cannot code this..

VB Books Online
Syntax
object.BorderStyle = [value]

Applies To
Form Object, Forms Collection, ....

Returns or sets the border style for an object. For the Form object and the TextBox control, read-only at run time.

As for the Min/Max button

VB Books Online
Syntax
object.MinButton
object.MaxButton

Applies To
Form Object, Forms Collection

Returns. a value indicating whether a form has a Minimize/Maximize button.

These properties have to be set at design time.. using the forms properties box on the righthand..

Hope this Helps..
