I take it this is a WinForms app. The window will have a Resize event which fires when the control gets resized (funnily enough). You could use this event to check the size of the form, and if it is greater than the max size you want just force it to the correct size . Something like this(pseudo C#)

C#

void Resize(object sender, eventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.Width >= MaxWidth)
            {
                this.Width = MaxWidth;
            }
        }

Hope this helps

[UPDATE]

Here is a VB version

VB

Private Sub Form1_Resize(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Resize
       Dim maxWidth As Integer = 800
       If Me.Width >= maxWidth Then
           Me.Width = maxWidth
       End If
   End Sub

Good Luck

That's doing it the hard way. I prefer to use the MaximumSize and MinimumSize properties of the Form class.

You answer to a 9 years old question ... AND ... your answer isn't so solution to the question.
The right answer was given (MaximumSize-Property).
Perhaps in future read the questions carefully ... and look when they were asked ...

Just set the form's MaximumSize property[^] and MinimumSize property[^].
