Min/Max Control Box

Anonymous

I have a form w/the control box property set to no, and the min/max buttons set to none. The on open event maximizes the form, and this brings back the control box and min/max buttons. How do I hide them again after the On Open Maximize command?

I tried the obvious screen.activeform.ControlBox.visible = False, but it no likey that :-) (invalid qualifier on ControlBox)

Thanks in advance.

    Making it modal has resolved it.

    I'm glad to hear you resolved your problem. I can't replicate that with a modal form, though.

    Anything else going on that I should include?

    It seems that the process of maximizing a form entails enabling the ability to restore it. Makes sense from a user interface POV.

    Perhaps you don't really need to maximize the form after all.

    Or perhaps you don't need to worry about the behavior unless your users will somehow make mistakes because of it.

    Or perhaps you could switch to tabbed forms with no Document Tabs. They open maximized and without the document tab, look a lot like a form opened as overlapping windows when maximized.
