Question

How can I fix the form size in a C# Windows Forms application and not to let user change its size?

Solution 1

Check this:

// Define the border style of the form to a dialog box.
form1.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog;

// Set the MaximizeBox to false to remove the maximize box.
form1.MaximizeBox = false;

// Set the MinimizeBox to false to remove the minimize box.
form1.MinimizeBox = false;

// Set the start position of the form to the center of the screen.
form1.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;

// Display the form as a modal dialog box.
form1.ShowDialog();

Solution 2

Try to set

this.MinimumSize = new Size(140, 480);
this.MaximumSize = new Size(140, 480);

Solution 3

Minimal settings to prevent resize events

form1.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog;
form1.MaximizeBox = false;

Solution 4

Properties -> FormBorderStyle -> FixedSingle

if you can not find your Properties tool. Go to View -> Properties Window

Solution 5

I'm pretty sure this isn't the BEST way, but you could set the MinimumSize and MaximimSize properties to the same value. That will stop it.

I dont think this stops you from double clicking on the title bar and it full screens

@Tizz I changed above things through designer, it worked.Double click didnt maximize it. I am using VS-2010

"the maximise property"? Do you mean "the MaximizeBox property"?
