How do you disable the Maximize button/capability in an SDI application?

Negatron

are you talking about a dialog or a SDI application ? you should edit the title. – Kayceekaye

I edited the title. Next time, pam, please use a descriptive short version of the question as a title instead of "MFC dialog question" :) – Hokku

Answer 1

For completeness:

int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
    ModifyStyle(WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, 0);

    <etc...>
}

I prefer this to an external link that could be broken in the future. – Yakka

Answer 2

ModifyStyle(WS_MAXIMIZEBOX,0,SWP_FRAMECHANGED);  // disable maximize
ModifyStyle(WS_MINIMIZEBOX,0,SWP_FRAMECHANGED);  // disable minimize
ModifyStyle(0,WS_MAXIMIZEBOX,SWP_FRAMECHANGED);  // enable maximize
ModifyStyle(0,WS_MINIMIZEBOX,SWP_FRAMECHANGED);  // enable minimize

try this, should be working
