You can't remove just the Maximize button. You have to set both Minimize and Maximize to False and both buttons will disappear. You can't do just one of them and have that button disappear.

Are you absolutely sure it cannot be done even using pInvoke?

Nope. You cannot remove just the button, not even by PInvoking the window style.

You CAN however remove the control box entirely and draw in and wire up your own custom buttons. I'll leave that up to you to figure out as it's way too much information to post here and it's not for the beginner.

I have incurred the same need. I want the user to be able to minimize the window, but not maximize it. The window size is very small, and the full Control Box crowds the title bar such that the window title only shows a couple characters. (I thought I remembered from Win7 that the disabled button wouldn't show, but that isn't the case in Win10. The Control Box itself was a lot smaller in Win7, too.)
Do you have a little bit of starter code I can use to create my own, smaller control box?

Nope. I have no need for such.
