How can create MDI Child window without MAXIMIZEBOX

I want to create MDI Child window without MAXIMIZEBOX and MINIMIZEBOX and un-sizable.

Following is the code I used, It always give me the maximizeBox and MinimizeBox at title box right corner. but I don't want them. Anyone can give me a help.

//
clientcreate.hWindowMenu = hMenuStandardWindow ;
clientcreate.idFirstChild = IDM_FIRSTCHILD ;

hwndClient = CreateWindowEx (0,TEXT ("MDICLIENT"), NULL,
WS_CHILD | WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_VISIBLE,
0, 0, 0, 0, hwnd, (HMENU) 1, hInst,
(PSTR) &clientcreate) ;

mdicreate.szClass = szWelcomeClass ;
mdicreate.szTitle = TEXT ("Welcome") ;
mdicreate.hOwner = hInst ;
mdicreate.x = CW_USEDEFAULT ;
mdicreate.y = CW_USEDEFAULT ;
mdicreate.cx = 598;//CW_USEDEFAULT ;
mdicreate.cy = 474;//CW_USEDEFAULT ;
mdicreate.style = 0 ;
mdicreate.lParam = 0 ;

//hwndChild
hwndWelcome= (HWND) SendMessage (hwndClient,
WM_MDICREATE, 0,
(LPARAM) (LPMDICREATESTRUCT) &mdicreate) ;


Thanks!

I think you can OR with ~WS_MINIMIZEBOX and ~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX.

Thanks for your reply, but it seems this is not the fix, I try to put | ~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX | ~WS_MINIMIZEBOX in 3 windows style, it hided the window.

I have read through the msdn, did not find a solution to get rid of the child window's MaximizeBox.

You tried this?

Code:

---

...

hwndClient = CreateWindowEx (0,TEXT ("MDICLIENT"), NULL,
WS_CHILD | WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_VISIBLE | ~WS_MINIMIZEBOX | ~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX,
0, 0, 0, 0, hwnd, (HMENU) 1, hInst,
(PSTR) &clientcreate) ;

...

Yes, I tried twice, it hides the Client Window, and all child windows can't display.

I programing with Win32 API, it seem MFC can do that way you suggested.

Reading at MSDN shows that MDI applications have three types:

• Frame
• Client
• Child

Which one are you trying to get rid of the minimize and maximize boxes?

I'm not sure if you can edit it for a Client type.
