Want to maximize a window all the time

[acjeff]

In a VB6 application, I set a form's MaxButton property to be false and its default window state to be maximumized. However, in running time, when I double-click the blue menu bar, the form restores from maximum to normal state. Then I double-click again, it does not go back to be maximumized.

1. How can I go back to miximum window by double-click again?

2. How can I not allow the user to restore the window by double-clicking at the first time. Or, maybe, just disable the double-click event?

You could just set the state on the form load and the form resize. e.g.

Private Sub Form_Load()
Form1.WindowState = vbMaximized
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Resize()
Form1.WindowState = vbMaximized
End Sub

Basically it works. However, it looks like bouncing on the screen because you can see the form size restoring and then maximizing. I want to do like no response at all. Any other idea?

No not really!

Without delving into some fairly complex API's, grabbing the double-click event on a window and neutralising it, I can't think of any other way.
