    Disabling maximize and resizing:
    Code:
    WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW & ~(WS_THICKFRAME|WS_MAXIMIZEBOX)
    As the window style.
    Or make a window not resizeable after creating it:
    Code:
    DWORD dwStyle = GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE);
    dwStyle &= ~(WS_MAXIMIZEBOX|WS_MINIMIZEBOX);
    SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE, dwStyle);
    Where hwnd is the window handle.
