How to make a form un-sizable for the user in vb.net

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I've looked at several answers already that instruct to just set the style to fixed but I can't due to the nature of my form, I want my form to look like this example[^], I'm currently achieving this by the following:

ControlBox = False
FormBorderStyle = Sizable
MaximizeBox = False
MinimizeBox = False

It works perfect but allows the user to re-size the form, is there a way to stop the user re-sizing the form, I'm currently using the method of setting the form minimum size and maximum size to the same size, but this still shows the re-size cursor when hovering over the border, how do I stop this?

Thanks for any help

I can't change the form border style as stated above because then the style of the form that is needed (in the example link) is lost.

Add these:

VB

SizeGripStyle = Hide
'FormBorderStyle = FixedSingle
'or
FormBorderStyle = FixedToolWindow
