I want my ribbon-MDIs to always be maximized. I solved this by overriding ActivateFrame() in my frame window, setting nCmdShow = SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED. Also, I added this in CMainFrame:

m_MTIClientWnd.ShowWorkspace(FALSE);
pCommandBars->GetMenuBar()->SetFlags(xtpFlagHideMinimizeBox | xtpFlagHideMaximizeBox);

I thought my MDIs were safe, but no... Alt+'-' causes a context menu to appear with the options "restore", "minimize" and "close". How do I prevent this menu from appearing?

Hi,
 
Catch WM_SYSCOMMAND + SC_KEYMENU/SC_MOUSEMENU.
 
Or better remove these commands from SystemMenu. pWnd->GetSystemMenu()->etc.

Please see image in original post!
 
The items are re-enabled by the framework. However, this works: 
cs.style &= ~(WS_MAXIMIZEBOX | WS_MINIMIZEBOX);
 
Though, the "Move" command is still available. I can live with that, but how would you delete the menu alltogether?
 
Note that removing WS_SYSMENU yields a menu with an empty menu item (bug in Toolkit or MFC?) when pressing Alt+'-'. I tried this in a new MFC-MDI-app and got a lockup instead... crazy.

Hi,
I didn't write "disable" I wrote "remove" :-)
 
int CChildFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
 if (CMDIChildWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
  return -1;
 
 CMenu* pMenu = GetSystemMenu(FALSE);
 pMenu->RemoveMenu(SC_RESTORE, MF_BYCOMMAND);
 pMenu->RemoveMenu(SC_MINIMIZE, MF_BYCOMMAND);
 pMenu->RemoveMenu(SC_MAXIMIZE, MF_BYCOMMAND);
 pMenu->RemoveMenu(SC_MOVE, MF_BYCOMMAND);
 pMenu->RemoveMenu(SC_SIZE, MF_BYCOMMAND);
 
 return 0;
}

Did you try it? ;)

"Move" (with text this time) is still there after executing your code, even though all menu items have been removed. How is this possible?!

Could my problem have something to do with my CXTPTabClientWnd in CMainFrame? I really can't get rid of the "Move" item!
