[RESOLVED] form not locking?

[greythej]

I want to set my form so no one can resize it and i have two problems:

1. i set the locked property to true and the user is still able to move and resize the form??

2. is there a way to only stop the user from resizing the form?? i want to allow moving of the form...

Thanks

Did you set FormBorderStyle to FixedSingle?

If that's not working, you can also set the maximum and minimum size to the same value.

(Note, in order to see the formborderstyle, you need to turn "Locked" off. The only thing that changes is your IDE's state, not the run state)

cheers that works perfectly, another question:

What event is called when the user clicks on the X in the top right corner??

(i want to give a "do u want to save changes" message box before the form closes, and allow the user to cancel the close)

It calls a series of events, but the one that would best suite you is "Closing."

System.Windows.Forms.Form.Closing?

Sure there is...

public event System.ComponentModel.CancelEventHandler Closing
Member of System.Windows.Forms.Form

Summary:
Occurs when the form is closing.

No worries

this.Closing += new System.ComponentModel.CancelEventHandler(this.Form1_Closing);

In .NET 1.x you use the Closing event. In .NET 2.0 you use FormClosing. Just another example of why it's importatnt to specify which version you're using when you post.
