Maximize Button not honoring ElementVisibility.Collapse

[Alec]

I have an application that on the main form (MainForm.cs) it is not honoring the following:

FormElement.TitleBar.MaximizeButton.Enabled = false;
FormElement.TitleBar.MaximizeButton.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;

It does honor it not being enabled, but hiding altogether is not working.

If I edit the form properties in the Proerties Window, I can see it collapse. Running the application for the first time seems to undo this, but there is no code that explicitly sets its visibility back to ElementVisibility.Visible.

I have other forms with in the app that have it disabled without issue.

Hello Alec,

Thank you for writing back.

We have a code wich resets the buttons visibility depending on the MinimizeBox and MaximizeBox properties of the form. This is why you can hide the button after the form is shown:

protected override void OnShown(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnShown(e);
    FormElement.TitleBar.MaximizeButton.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
}

You can use the MaximizeBox property to disable the button:

this.MaximizeBox = false;

Please let me know if there is something else I can help you with.

Dimitar,

      Thank you so much. Worked like a charm. Perhaps this should make it into the documentation for RadForm. It would save some trouble.

 Thank you for the help
