Hide maximize button

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Commandbars OCX v15.2.1, Visual Basic 6, Windows XP.  Using ribbonbars.
No problem getting my ribbonbar to work, but I need to hide the "maximize window" button as full-screen doesn't make sense for my application.  There's a code snippet in the help file:

    'This sample code illustrates how to hide the maximize MDI 
button on the menu bar.
    CommandBars(1).SetFlags 
xtpFlagHideMaximizeBox, 0

but it doesn't work.  The maximize button is still visible.  I've tried the other flag options, but none of them seem to achieve anything - the minimize, maximize and close buttons are always visible no matter what combination of flags I use.

I also tried CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.SetFlags, with the same results (not surprising as it's the same thing really).

Anyone tried this and got it to work?

Nick.

	further info: I realised that this code snippet is probably for the MDI buttons on a child form in an MDI application. But I have an SDI application. It seems that the enabled and disabled maximize buttons on the themed form look the same.
