    Disable Resize Window :: MFC

    Hi.

    I have been wondering about the possibility of *disabling* resize feature in a window. For example, when a window is in restore setting, the user can change the size of the window via dragging one of its four size or four corners. I there a way to disable that feature completely? I am basically describing a dialog window without having to derive the class from CDialog.

    In the program I am working on, I have disabled the maximize feature. The window stays restored throughout. However, the user can resize it. I would like to disable that feature too. The bottom line is the window looks better if it remains in its original settings (size).

    Thanks,
    Kuphryn

    Just go into the properties of the window and then select the Styles tab and change the border from resizing to something else?

    kilowatt posted a quick and easy way, which you mentioned at the end. He said to "remove the WS_THICKFRAME style, and
    replace it with the WS_BORDER style." The technique works perfectly.
