Comments

For the ControlBox menu to be visible, the form's BorderStyle property must be set to something other than "None".

The settings for the MaxButton, MinButton, BorderStyle, and ControlBox properties are displayed on the form at run time. This property can be set at design time and is read-only at run time.

This property is not available for MDI Form type which uses the Sizable style by default.

The commands which will be displayed at run time depend on the settings for related properties. For example, setting MaxButton and MinButton to False disables the Maximize and Minimize commands on the Control menu, but the Move and Close commands remain available.
