How do I disable form resizing for users?

Question

How do I disable form resizing for users? Which property is used?

I tried AutoSize and AutoSizeMode.

Answer 1

Change the FormBorderStyle to one of the fixed values: FixedSingle, Fixed3D, FixedDialog or FixedToolWindow.

The FormBorderStyle property is under the Appearance category.

Or 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();

Answer 2

Use the FormBorderStyle property. Make it FixedSingle:

this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle;

Answer 3

Use the FormBorderStyle property of your Form:

this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog;

Answer 4

Change this property and try this at design time:

FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog;

Designer view before the change:

Answer 5

I always use this:

// Lock form
this.MaximumSize = this.Size;
this.MinimumSize = this.Size;

This way you can always resize the form from Designer without changing code.

Answer 6

Using the MaximumSize and MinimumSize properties of the form will fix the form size, and prevent the user from resizing the form, while keeping the form default FormBorderStyle.

this.MaximumSize = new Size(XX, YY);
this.MinimumSize = new Size(X, Y);

Answer 7

I would set the maximum size, minimum size and remove the gripper icon of the window.

Set properties (MaximumSize, MinimumSize, and SizeGripStyle):

this.MaximumSize = new System.Drawing.Size(500, 550);
this.MinimumSize = new System.Drawing.Size(500, 550);
this.SizeGripStyle = System.Windows.Forms.SizeGripStyle.Hide;
