Hi,

is there a way to make a resizeable window not resizeable at a specific time and give it the resizeable option later ?

I know there should be a way through setting a variable and do it myself at :resize but is there a "real" way to disable the function ?

bye, Fabian

Well, like you said, you can use something like this:

Well, the dialog would still resize, just the elements on the dialog would not. You would have to make the dialog snap back to a specific size in the resize event or recreate the dialog without the RESIZE option.

So it must be something like this?

It may not be the best way but i had to control the resizing of a non VDS
window from within VDS and I just launched a separate utility at a specific
event. That utility just looped keeping the window at the size I wanted
and I closed it when it was OK to resize the window.

Hi,

I think the easiest way is with code in :resize
I am doing it this way:

if %%resizable
blabla
blabla Wink

else
WINDOW NORMAL,mywindow
end
goto loop

But is there a real way to disable the maxmimize icon at a specific time ?

I don't remember the exact source(s) but I tried find a way to disable the
maximize icon and all the information appeared to suggest that you
cannot disable or remove the maximize after a window has been
created. I was doing it to a non-VDS window but the information I got
when searching for a way to do it through API seemed to indicate you must
do it when the window is created. This is why I wrote a separate utilty
to keep my window size correct. So, I'm pretty sure you can do it. Sad

The easiest way I've found to do all of the above is to use a child
dialog for the main window. First create a main dialog but DO NOT
show it. You can then close/re-create the child dialog as needed.

Here's a simple example that makes the window ONTOP or not...

A minor change to Mac's example which will keep the dialog position. Wink
