How can I remove minimize,maximize,close button of MDI child form.
I have menu bar, toolbar in MDI form.
I have set Controlbox property to false of all Child form.

Control Box(minimize, maximize, close) does not appear if Menubar is there.

If I delete menubar, ControlBox of MDI Child form start appearing.

Solution 3

I finally solve this
If you have tow form ,form1 as mdi form and form2 as mdi child form

In button to show form2 write

VB

form2.MdiParent=me
form2.formporderstyle=Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
form2.ControlBox=false
form2.MaximizeBox=false
form2.MinimizeBox=false
form2.showicon=false
form2.text=""
form2.dock=DockStyle.Fill

This work for me ,It should work for you too.
