Minimize, Maximize button not showing

[Morris Neuman]

I have a form in VC# VS2008. I have set the MinizeBox and MaximizeBox to
true. But the buttons do not show on the form. Right clicking on the title
bar shows them as options and work. The only button on the forms title bar
on the right is the cancle button.

How can I get the button to show?

What is your forms FormBorderStyle property.

Hi Morris,

What is your FormBorderStyle? A ToolWindow does not have maximize and
minimize buttons.

Hi Morris,

Do you set the FormBorderStyle to FixedToolWindow or SizableToolWindow? If
you want the maximize and minimize button to show up, the form border style
should not be None, FixedToolWindow or SizableToolWindow.

Yes that was the problem. Thanks

the form border style
should not be None, FixedToolWindow or SizableToolWindow.

Thanks it was set to Sizable tool window and I changed it to sizable. Now I
see the buttons but the help doesn;t show even though I have set Min and Max
buttons to false and Help button nto yes.

I believe the Help button will only appear when your FormBorderStyle is one
of the dialog types.

Hello, sorry I may be getting off the topic - but my problem is

When I maximize a child window in my MDI window, the Minimize, Maximize,
and
close buttons appear on the left hand side instead of the normal right.
They
appear before the Main menu -

I must have just done something and shocking or not - i dont know what and
cant figure out how to get back to the norm

A) You should have started a separate thread.

B) You haven't provided enough information. What version of Visual Studio?
Are you using any 3rd-party toolbars? Etc.
