Hi Akshay Lakhmani,

  Could you compress your application within zip file format because our computer couldn't install winrar application.

Answer 5

Hi Akshay,

  You need to put the code looks like the following into Form2_Load event handler.

  
this.MaximizeBox = false;

  I feel the MaximizeBox property of Form2 wouldn't take effect when using above way.

  Hope it helps you.

Sincerely,

Jason Wang

It's not working,
It's disabling this MaximizeBox which u can see in below picture

but i want to disable this MaximizeBox which u can see in below picture

I think code for this is something else not directly Form2 MaximizeBox false code.

Answer 7

This works for me..

Dim ChildForm As New System.Windows.Forms.Form

ChildForm.MdiParent = Me

ChildForm.MinimizeBox = False
ChildForm.MaximizeBox = False
ChildForm.ControlBox = False
ChildForm.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None

ChildForm.Dock = DockStyle.Fill

ChildForm.Show()
