Hello,

If I use a dialog box from resource, how can I prevent that the size of the dialog box is changed by the user ?

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Michel,

Do you mean that the user resizes the dialogbox with the mouse on runtime ?

Or that the resources are modified ?

Antonio,

Thanks for your attention.

What I mean is this : I don't want the users to change the size of some dialog boxes, created from resources.

Michel,

If you use these styles for the dialog:
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU

then the border is not resizeable and the user can not change it.

Are you placing the dialog box inside a MdiChild window ? How can the user resize the dialog ?

Antonio,

I already use these styles in my dialog boxes. But the user still can change the size by using the mouse.

I'm not talking about a dialog box inside a MdiChild window, just an independant dialog box.

Thanks a lot.

Michel,

None of my dialogs are resizable. What resource editor are you using? Can you show us a screenshot of a dialog that is resizable? Can we see the section of the resource file that contains a resizable dialog?

Regards,
James
