Israel:
This is normal behaviour.  To have the min/max buttons you must have a
control box.  If you disable the min/max selections in the control box
(thru WinAPI) the min/max buttons are disabled automatically.

I would like to have my form displaying the max button but not the control
box.

What is happening is that when I select ControlBox=False, it doesnt display
neither the max nor the min buttons, even if I set them to true.

Is this normal behaviour? I'm using VB5 and I have the impression this
could be done in VB3.

Thanks

Then, in your Query_Unload event, examine the UnloadMode parameter.
If = vbFormControlMenu  (value = 0 - see Help) set Cancel = True.

This is a little kludgy, but will work until you locate a more elegant
solution.

Cheers,

Dan

Israel,

What you're wanting to do is a departure from Windows standards - that's
why it's not letting you do it.

If you're wanting to hide the control box just so they can't use the other
commands on the menu (ex. Close) then it's more accepted to subclass the
window and take control of the control box's menu. I think you're going to
have to so this anyway to achieve the hiding of the control box, so you
might as well seize control of the menu structure.

Check on the WM_SYSCOMMAND window message. I think that's one you'll need
to intercept.
