In VB 6 I used to just set a property to false in order
to prevent the resizing of forms, does anyone know how to
do this in VB.Net?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Jeff,

I think you can just place bounds on your form width and
height on the forms resize event to prevent the user from
resizing it.

Hope this helps!

Woops Jeff, I found a better way and a MUCH simpler way.
I didn't see this before, but simply set the formborder
property to either 1,3 or 4.

Jeff,
The easiest way is to set the Form.FormBorderStyle to Fixed3D, FixedDialog,
FixedSingle or FixedToolWindow depending on the effect & style of border you
want.

Alternatively you can set the Form.MinimumSize & Form.MaximumSize to the
size you want the form restricted to.

Form.MinimumSize & Form.MaximumSize are especially handy if you want to
allow some change but not a lot of change.

Hope this helps
Jay
