The maxButton property specifies whether a form has a Maximize button.
The settings of the Form class maxButton property are listed in the following table.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| true | The form has a Maximize button (the default). |
| false | The form does not have a Maximize button. |
A Maximize button enables users to enlarge a form window to full-screen size.
Setting the value of the maxButton property to true causes a form with the borderStyle property set to BorderStyle_None (0) to adopt a borderStyle value of BorderStyle_Single (1).
The form also displays a caption area, regardless of whether the form caption is empty. This property should not be changed when an MDI child form is maximized.
A Maximize button automatically becomes a Restore button when a window is maximized. Minimizing or restoring a window automatically changes the Restore button back to a Maximize button.
Maximizing a form at run time generates a resize event. The windowState property reflects the current state of the window. If you set the windowState property to WindowState_Maximized (2), the form is maximized independently of whatever settings are in effect for the maxButton and borderStyle properties.
