==== Preventing resizing of form (OpenInsight Specific) ====

<QUOTE>
I finally gave up trying to set a background to a groupbox

and designed an entire form background with a bitmap, including

groupbox type highlights. I want to prohibit the resizing of

the form by mouse dragging the corner or maximizing, so the bitmap background does not get messed up by being

"clipped" or multiple tiled, but I still need the system minimize

button since this is for a menu.Setting "dialog" frame type doesn't

work since I then loss the minimize button. 

Any suggestions?

<QUOTE>Steve,



First suggestion is to use a thin frame. This prevents the window from being resizable.



Second suggestion is to put code in your SIZE event that restores the window whenever anyone attempts to resize it.

<QUOTE>Don,

The thin Frame is just what I needed. I thought I tried it

and it didn't work..... but it does..

Sometimes thinking can get you in trouble.

Thanks...
