[comp.windows.ms.programmer] Window sizing question

wilcox@wucs1.wustl.edu (Don Wilcox) (03/25/91)

I have a question.  I am creating a window which I is resizeable, and I would
like to limit the maximum size that the user can increase to.  While I know
that I can just intercept WM_SIZE messages and shrink the window if the user
makes it too big, I would rather find a mechanism which would allow me to
keep the outline rectangle from growing while the user resizes the window.
Something like WM_QUERYOPEN which allows me to tell Windows, "Don't let this
window grow any larger than X".  If the answer is RTFM, my apologies, I have
spent the whole weekend looking up the way to do things, and I have "manual
burnout."

Thanks.

Don

sig files are too expensive for a grad student's budget.

I find the on-line help much easier to use than the paper one.
