a flaw with maximizing

[JuggaloBrotha]

i've noticed that with the windows forms (VS2003) if you set the MaximizeBox to False you can't maximize the form but clicking the button or but double clicking the title bar

but with the Logitech MX700 (this is true for the MX500 series and the MX1000) if you set one of the buttons to 'Maximize' then you go to your cv windows form that has MaximizeBox set to False and press the Maximize button on the mouse the un-maximizable form maximizes

is there a way to fix this or get around it so my form can't be maximized?

Buy new mouse and also for your client warn 'em to not buy sucha mouse ... Cheers

i emailed microsoft to let them know about that, hopefully it'll be right in VS2005 here

Well, I will email Logitech and maybe they will stop producing sucha if i may buggy mouses

I think you'll find that it depends how the message is sent to the form. Setting the MaximizeBox property to False would presumably prevent the Windows message being generated from your app's UI. If the message comes from elsewhere then it must still be being acted upon. You could probably override the WndProc method to intercept the appropriate Windows message and make sure it was not acted upon by your form.
