Hi there,

Is there a way to set a minimum size for a form window, so that the resizing
stops if we try to make it smaller than a given initial dimension ?

Thanks in advance,

Damien

Quick n dirty:

On WM_Size ( = 5)
restore size if it is too small.

Hi,

use WM_SIZING (see MSDN for further details), modify the RECT structure that
comes with lParam using the CStruct... functions contained in
"CStructL.apl".

Regards,

You should handle the WM_GETMINMAXINFO and set the minimum and maximum
positions of the window. See the following KB article for an example MFC
code.

Yes, it's the standard way... but I always needed a DLL to catch it.
Otherwise, as others said, WM_SIZING also works.
