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.
