U r using Mdi Application ? Than Override OnSize in CChildFrm and you will get the functionality.

You can handle WM_GETMINMAXINFO or in MFC add a message map entry called ON_WM_GETMINMAXINFO and function prototype looks like this ... afx_msg void OnGetMinMaxInfo( MINMAXINFO FAR* lpMMI );

For disabling window resizing you've to handle WM_GETMINMAXINFO message. Check this [^]for code snippet. Regards, Jijo.

Without seeing your code, it's going to be hard to say for sure. Did you use ClassWizard to create the handler function for it, or did you try to implement the function manually?

Whether its MDI/SDI? And you're trying to restrict that of a child view? Regards, Jijo.

So your question is not about Visual C++ 6, is it ?

sure it is about VC++6 / MFC

are you on crack ? when you ask a question, the topic has to be specific, and not talk about the TOOL you're compiling your code with ! :doh:
