[Q]: How to disable the size option from my app menu

[jeremy]

I made an app that is sizeable, but i disabled the maximize box. i want it so it can either be minimized or if you click on its icon in the tray have it return to its normal state. it does those fine, but if you left click on the app icon in the upper left corner, the menu alows you to size it. how can i remedy this?

thanks,

jeremy

Hi


You say you made your app sizable yet you don't want to see the option in the system menu ?


If you don't want the user to resize your app at all, you can do it using the following code :


Create a new VB project, and paste the following code into the code section of form1


Option Explicit


Private Declare Function GetSystemMenu Lib "user32" _

(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal bRevert As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function RemoveMenu Lib "user32" _

(ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal nPosition As Long, _

ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long


Private Const MF_BYPOSITION = &H400&



Public Sub RemoveResizeMenuItem()

Dim hSysMenu As Long

'get the system menu for this form

hSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(Me.hWnd, 0)

'remove the close item

Call RemoveMenu(hSysMenu, 2, MF_BYPOSITION)

End Sub


Private Sub Form_Load()

RemoveResizeMenuItem

End Sub


Hope it helps
