    VB6 Form resize diable user from manually resizing it?

    have a VB6 project that on the form I have set the BorderStile to 2 -
    sizable and created a function to resize the form and its controls min or
    max.

    Although, I am trying to find a way to disable the user from dragging the
    bottom right hand corner from resizing. I only want min and max.

    Any ideas how I can do this in code. If so, can I get an example of this
    please?

    Thank you,
    JT

      If you want to have the standard minimise and maximise buttons, you will
      need to subclass and handle the WM_GETMINMAXINF O message.

          Or you could use a hack and just set the form size in the Resize event.
          This will cause it to flicker.

          With both these methods you MUST take into account the form border as it
          is different for different windows versions and themes.

              You could cheat, and set it to style 3 (Fixed Dialog), and plant your own
              Min/Max buttons
              on the form. :)
