Locking form resizing

[blumonde]

Gentlemen,

Is there a way to lock a form's borders so that users cannot resize it with their mouse during runtime?

Please help.

Try something like:

[color=Blue]Me[/color].FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle

Hope this helps...

Thank you ayozzhero. It sure helps.

I was looking for something relating to borders in the properties window of visual studio but didn't see any. I guess we have to code it in this case.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

in the properties window it's the FormBorderStyle there's a dropdown list of available choices, FixedSingle is one of the options in that list too

Don't foget to set up MaximizeBox to False because if user can access it he/she is still able to change a size of your form

Hiya Jugga and kulrom

I set maximizebox to false, yes of course. About formborderstyle, I overlooked. It was there but for some reason I didn't see it. My eyes are getting worse now. Sorry.

Thanks for the tips, everyone.

Cheers,

When I set borderstyle to fixed single, the form loses the 3D look that I'd like the border to have. How can I lock the form (prevent resizing or moving) while still maintaining the look of a window?

hahahaha FormBorderStyle.Fixed3D

Thanks, I've tried that, but the user can still move the form window.
I DID, however, find some code at the FAQ site that's advertised here.

I put this code (after modifying it a bit) into each one of my forms and the user indeed cannot move it, AND I get to keept the fixed Dialogue look!

Appreciate the reply, though. I've got a million questions coming!!!

prevent resizing = Set MaximizeBox to False and Set its BorderStyle

prevent moving = http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/showthread.php?t=9549 check this out (you don't need some fancy code to achieve that)
