I just made sure that MDI applications can use this method also. You can do
this same thing in CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWindow.

This is the way I did it in a SDI application.

BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
  if( !CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
     return FALSE;

  cs.style &= ~WS_SIZEBOX; //don't let them resize

  return TRUE;
}

you can also prevent maximize by adding this line
  cs.style &= ~WS_MAXIMIZEBOX; //don't let them maximize

Hello fellow newsgroupies,

I have some CFrameWnd derived classes (both child and popup windows)
which display various CView derived windows. I want to prevent them
from being resized (larger or smaller) but still allow them to be
minimized and 'maximized' back to their fixed sizes.

How can I do this? Do I have to modify the views, the frames or both?

Many thanks in advance,
