I can disable Minimize, maximize box in windows using API but restore box.

[Kernel1001]

I use API following to disable minimize, maximize box in windows. But i can't do that with restore button. I'm quite confused.

SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE,0x16CC0000);

0x16CC0000: remove maximize, minimize box. But i can't find the other code for restore box.

can't you just change the FormBorderStyle to SizeableToolWindow or FixedToolWindow? :)

Here we rest... So why not make the best of it? :D

I load another application into winform and i want it not to resize. So i must use API to control. I think i can't use FormBorderStyle or FixedToolWindow. :)

if you don't want to allow the form to be resized you can set the MaximumSize and MinimumSize properties of the form so it will keep the current size. if you already set the size of your form you can do this:

yourForm.MaximumSize = yourForm.Size;
yourForm.MinimumSize = yourForm.Size;

then it can't be resized even if the restore button isn't disabled ;)

If you're using C#, then why on earth would you do this ? That's just insane. You can disallow all these buttons in the properties dialog for the form, including the the restore box.

But i'm loading another application (word office, eg.) into that form. So, when i resize the "inside" application, it also resizes the outside form too despite you fixing size of the outside form. I suppose that we must use some API functions to solve but i don't know exactly.

You can fix size of the outside form, but when i resize inside application (eg. Word Office window) then the outside form is also changed despite it being fixed.
