    Disabling maximize button and movable border

    I want to disable two things on then main window: the maximize button at the top right hand corner, and I don't want the user to be able to resize the border. How would I do this? Thanks!

    creat your window using these as the only style(note this does not mean ex styles)

    WS_SYSMENU

    this will make a non resizable window with only a close box.

    But, what if I don't want to disable the minimize button? Thanks!

    As long as it appears grayed-out, that is good. Thanks again!
