Prevent Form Resize

[Zytan]

How can I prevent a form from being resized?

The default settings don't really make all that much sense. I realize
you can instruct it to show scroll bars, and thus if one were made
smaller, you can scroll to see all of it. But, I am willing to bet
most people just want to ignore any user request to resize. A lot of
people may mis-click and accidentally resize the app. I know I do on
occassion.

I did a search for this answer a few weeks back, and I think the only
thing I found was to deal with the actual Win32 messages themselves.
Is there a high level way to deal with this?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Zytan

Set the BorderStyle property (Formborderstyle in 2.0) to a fixed* value.

Of course... Duh. I don't know how I missed that. Ah, because it's
under 'Appearance', instead of 'Behavior'. Even though this one fits
in both categories, so, it's up for grabs. I wonder why the default
value isn't fixed*...

Thanks, Armin!
