[RESOLVED] Form is resizable when it shouldn't be

[gavio]

I have a FixedSingle Form (I actually wan't to simulate the MessageBox). Only if i disable the ControlBox property the Form can be resized.

I have tried VB6 also (just for comparison), where everything is "OK" (as I expected it to work for me).

Could this be a bug? It's a 2.0 framework btw.

This code makes the form non-resizable for me (VS 2010):

Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle
Me.ControlBox = False

Just checked on VS 2008 - the same, everything works fine.

I just tried this out using VS2008 with the 3.5 Framework and while I can't resize the form under the same sort of settings, I can maximise it by double clicking on the header which I wouldn't have thought would have been appropriate.

A quick work around might be to set the MinimumSize and MaximumSize to the same size as you want your form.

I hope that this helps

Add this then (maximizing / minimizing is not resizing in terms of Windows message pump):

Me.MaximizeBox = False
Me.MinimizeBox = False

Thanks cicatrix, didn't realise that hiding the Min/Max boxes actually stopped the ability to maximize

Found the problem. It is actually in my skin

Thank you anyways
