Restrict .Net Window Forms resizing

How to restrict the user from moving or resizing the .NET Windows
Forms?

There are some situations that we might want to prevent the user from
resizing(Maximizing, minimizing or double clicking the title bar etc) the
VB.Net Windows forms.

For example, we might not want to resize the form when the user double
click on the title bar of the Windows Forms.

This will be accomplished by overriding the color="#008000">WndProc Method.

WndProc Method – A method which handles the
windows messages (Maximizing the window, minimizing the window etc) posted
by the Windows Forms.

Based on the windows messages, we need to write the handler to handle
the messages.

The following VB.NET Code Snippet explains how to prevent

1) Maximization or Restoration of Form (When click on the Title bar of
the Form)

2) Maximize button click event

3) Minimize button click event

4) Moving of Form

5) Resizing the Form (Double click on Title bar of the Window)

Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef WndMsg As
Message)

'various windows message codes

Const WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN As Integer = 161

Const WM_NCLBUTTONDBLCLK As Int32 = &HA3 'When
User Clicks on the Title Bar

Const WM_SYSCOMMAND As Integer = 274 'Windows
Message

Const HTCAPTION As Integer = 2 'Title bar of
Form

Const SC_MOVE As Integer = 61456 'When the Form is
moved

Const SC_MINIMIZE As System.Int32 =
&HF020& 'When a Form is Minimized

Const SC_MAXIMIZE As System.Int32 =
&HF030& 'When a Form is Maximized

Const SC_RESTORE As System.Int32 = 61728 'When a
Form is Restored

If (WndMsg.Msg = WM_NCLBUTTONDBLCLK) And
(m.WParam.ToInt32() = HTCAPTION) Then 'Handle the Title Bar Click event as
well, this would be either Restore or Maximized

Return

End If

If (WndMsg.Msg = WM_SYSCOMMAND) And
(WndMsg.WParam.ToInt32() = SC_MAXIMIZE) Then

Return

End If

If (WndMsg.Msg = WM_SYSCOMMAND) And
(WndMsg.WParam.ToInt32() = SC_MINIMIZE) Then

Return

End If

If (WndMsg.Msg = WM_SYSCOMMAND) And
(WndMsg.WParam.ToInt32() = SC_MOVE) Then

Return

End If

If (WndMsg.Msg = WM_SYSCOMMAND) And
(WndMsg.WParam.ToInt32() = SC_RESTORE) Then

Return

End If

If (WndMsg.Msg = WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN) And
(WndMsg.WParam.ToInt32() = HTCAPTION) Then

Return

End If

MyBase.WndProc(m)
