How to disable Maximize button on a dialog form? [SOLVED] [message #1510]

I have added the Minimized and Maximize buttons to my main form by using

this->Zoomable();

Unfortunately, I want the maximize button to be disabled since I don't want the form to be resized.

I would like to know how I can get the minimize button on the titlebar without letting the maximize button work.

(BTW, why "this->" ?)

At the moment, not possible. I am not even sure if Win32 supports it, and if it does, maybe X11 does not....

Something to investigate. Putting to ToDo.

I am using this-> because it is in the constructor for the class. I have tried doing this other ways, but using this-> is the only thing that works

Test::Test()
{

	//Initialization
	CtrlLayout(*this, "Test");

	this->Zoomable();
	this->Sizeable(false);
	
}

Also, I do know that it is possible to have the maximize button greyed out in Windows. I have seen it many times. I just want the ability to minimize the application without the possibility of changing the dialog's window size. I have used combinations of Zoomable() and Sizeable() to no luck. If it's not possible at this point, that is OK. I was just curious about whether it could be done right now.

Thanks for your help

Test::Test()
{

	//Initialization
	CtrlLayout(*this, "Test");

	Zoomable();
	Sizeable(false);
	
}

...should work... (I mean, without this->). And Sizeable(false) is default, no need to invoke it.

Stupid me. Of course you can have what you need. Just instead of Zoomable() use MinimizeBox().

Not a good idea, try using layout engine to resize and layout controls poperly.

That's my point. I don't want the form to be resized. I want to make sure that the layout is completed through the layout editor and not during runtime.
