not showing the icon and showing the disable X in the corner

[dimava]

how do I only show the X disabled in the top right corner, no Max or Min, and also no Icon?

Set the MinButton to False
Set the MaxButton to False
Set the Icon to (None) (By highlighing the icon property and pressing Delete)
Set the BorderStyle to Fixed Dialog

Add the following code to your Form to disable the X.

Private Declare Function GetSystemMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal bRevert As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function RemoveMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal nPosition As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long
Private Const MF_BYPOSITION = &H400&

Private Sub Form_Load()
    RemoveMenu GetSystemMenu(hwnd, 0), 6, MF_BYPOSITION
End Sub

Hello,

Sorry to bust in on this thread, but is there also away to disable the Maximize button on a MDI form? I have been trying to find a way to do this for some time but with not luck so far!

Best

Make a normal form think that its an mdi parent by this code that I got from megatron:

Private Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hWndChild As Long, ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    form1.Show
    SetParent form2.hwnd, form1.hwnd
End Sub

This will disable the max button in an mdi form.

Private Declare Function GetSystemMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal bRevert As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function RemoveMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal nPosition As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long
Private Const MF_BYPOSITION = &H400&

Private Sub MDIForm_Load()    
RemoveMenu GetSystemMenu(hWnd, 0), 4, F_BYPOSITION 
End Sub

Great I'll give it a shot thanks a bunch!

if you set icon to (none), the icon is replaced by a windows icon (at least it was on mine?)

[dimava]

smae thing happened to me, but I'm OK with it

Did you remember to change your borderstyle to FixedSingle or FixedDialog?

[dimava]

I had it set ot a single, now I changed it to a FixDialog, and it doesn't show the icon

Isn't that what you wanted?

[dimava]

yea it is, I'm just saying that if you set it to single it will still show the icon
