minimize

Determines if a form can be minimized when it’s not MDI.

Property of

Form, SubForm

Description

Set minimize to false to disable the minimize icon and the Minimize option in the system menu. The form can still be minimized in other ways, such as choosing Minimize All Windows from the context menu of the Windows Taskbar. You must set minimize before you open the form. If both maximize and minimize are false, their icons do not appear in the title bar. If either one is true, they both appear, with one of them disabled.

minimize has no effect unless the form’s mdi property is false; if it is true, the form follows the MDI specification and has its minimize icon enabled.
