Removing Min/Max/Close buttons from MDI child

[JSM]

Hi,

Is it possible to remove the minimise, maximise and close buttons on an MDI
child form? I know the documentation say all MDI child forms will have these
buttons regardless of whether you disable them or not but surely there must
be a way via an API call or something.

Cheers,

John

Don't worry I figured it out

myForm.MdiParent=this;
myForm.Menu=null;
myForm.Text="";
myForm.ControlBox=false;
myForm.Dock=DockStyle.Fill;
Cheers,

John

Just set the FormBorderStyle property of the child form to None.

That doesn't work because if you maximise the form you still get the
buttons. The trick was to set the docking style to "fill" instead of using
maximise.

Thanks for the reply anyway.
