Close Button

How can I disable the (X) Close Button?
Also, Why is it that I can still maximize my form after setting maximizeBox to false???
This is making me kind of mad.

Handle CancelEventArgs parameter in Closing event . This way :

VB Code:

Private Sub Form1_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing
        e.Cancel = True
    End Sub

How ?

Try it and you will see what I'm talking about.
I'm using VS.Net Pro 2003
If you click around where that button would normally be U will find it. (or not)
If need be I can show you a screen shot.

PS: Thanks!!

When setting the property 'MaximizeBox' of the form to False , this would show it but dimmed . I've tried what you said but nothing happened .
:rolleyes:

I know what is happening now, I’m using fixed tool window for border style (does not show min., max.) but I did not set the min. and max. property to false (did not know you had to do that) besides, I did not even think to do it since the boxes don’t show.
Anyway, any time you are using fixed border style setting and do not disable min. and max. Button U still be able to maximize your App.
I’m glad I found the problem.

It is supposed to do that. Clicking on the title bar of a Windows Application is supposed to maximize and minimize the program.

I'm sure , you didn't read through the thread . If MaximizedBox is set to false , this , no way to maxmimize the window by the 'max' button nor clicking on the title bar .

Yes I know, I was explaining to him why what he did maximized the app

My point was simply this, if it claims to be a fixed type window it should not expand at any time.
but it does, oh well! Next time I know to disable min. and max. button.
