NOSIZE Property
Enable or disable the capability to re-size the Window
Description:
The NOSIZE Property can be used to enable or disable the capability to re-size a Window, including the system menu SIZE option
Syntax:
THISWINDOW | <FormName>.NOSIZE --> lValue
THISWINDOW | <FormName>.NOSIZE := lValue
Valid For Use With:
This Property is assumed to be available for use with all Window types
Notes:
This property is only available after Window definition
It is one of the newer properties which is intended to overcome a limitation with the SIZABLE property which can only be used during Window definition
Important: The values used or returned by THISWINDOW | <FormName>.NOSIZE can easily be misunderstood!
Firstly, when you change the value the old value is not returned
Secondly, when you need to change the value (either enable or disable the users ability to resize the screen), you do use the value that you would expect. Eg. to disable resizing, you would use THISWINDOW | <FormName>.NOSIZE := .T.
Finally, note that the value returned when using THISWINDOW | <FormName>.NOSIZE appears to be the opposite of the value that you would expect. so if you run THISWINDOW | <FormName>.NOSIZE := .T. and then run THISWINDOW | <FormName>.NOSIZE the value returned is actually .F.!
Using this property once a Window has been displayed may affect its width and height appearance very slightly when changes are made
