Disable maximize / minimize on Form's double click

Question

How can I stop a double click of the window title bar from maximizing a window of FormBorderStyle.FixedToolWindow?

I have a form which I've removed the minimize and maximize buttons from, set the FormBorderStyle to none, added drag & drop behaviour, but I want my form size to be static. Now form maximizes/minimizes on Double Click.

I searched but didn't find relevent answers, questions I came up with were about disabling minimize & maximize buttons.

I there a way that I tell my form "Hei, would you ignore double click and maintain your size please?" ?

Solution 1

You can set the MaximumSize and MinimumSize. If they both equal the same thing it should prevent the form from changing size.

Solution 2

if you can set FormBorderStyle from None to FixedSingle or Fixed3D it will prevent form maximixe on double click

FixedToolWindow and FixedDialog are also acceptable choices.

To me, there's nothing about a Window's border that should dictate its size constraints. A border is only one possible way of maximizing/minimizing. It seems "hackier" to use that than to use MaximumSize and MinimumSize.

Although FixedToolWindow ironically will maximize when double-clicking the title bar (yes, even though it's "fixed" in size). You have to set the MaximizeBox property to false to turn off that functionality. See: stackoverflow.com/a/9588599/945456
