Graying Maximize button

[Terry Zivney]

Is there a way to "gray" out the maximize button? I can
make the button inoperative by removing "maximize" from
the system menu, but some users are bothered by having a
button that doesn't work!

The %WS_MAXIMIZEBOX style is used to create a dialog with a Maximize button. If you don't use that style, the button won't even appear, so there will be no need to gray it out...

In the Skeleton.BAS sample, the style is:

%WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW

This includes a maximize button.

Well I know this is pretty straight forward but in the Win32api.inc is the styles for the
dialog box and I did not want a maximize button on my project so here's my replacement:

%WS_OVRLPDWNDWNOMAX = %WS_OVERLAPPED OR %WS_CAPTION OR %WS_SYSMENU
OR %WS_THICKFRAME OR %WS_MINIMIZEBOX

This works ok SKELETON.BAS!
