Hi,
How can I disable the resizing of a form??
I thought the "Locked" property is the answer, I assigned it as "True",
but still I can resize the form on runtime!
Thx

I know it's a bit late, but I think the easiest way to do it would be setting the FormBorderStyle to "FixedSingle". That would prevent users from stretching your forms.

Being late with a solution isn't the problem - not adding anything new to the thread is though. The use of FormBorderStyle = FixedSingle appears in the 2nd link from solution 1. Solution 2 explicitly mentions borderstyle and also points out that you need to change the min/max buttons too.
I see that OriginalGriff has already cautioned you on this - he gives sound advice :-)

Solution 2

Set the appropriate border style, minimum and maximum size and remove min/max buttons in the title bar.
