MaxButton Property (AForm)

Returns a value that determines whether a form has a Maximize button.

Syntax

[ bMaxButton = ] Object.MaxButton

The MaxButton property syntax has the following parts:

Name	Type	Description
Object	AForm	AForm object
bMaxButton	Bool	A boolean expression that specifies whether a form has a Maximize button.

Where

bMaxButton can be one of the following:

Value	Description
True *	The form has a Maximize button.
False	The form does not have a Maximize button.

Comments

The Maximize button enables users to increase the size of the form window to fill the full size of the screen.

For the Maximize button to be visible, the form's BorderStyle property must be set to something other than "None". When a window is maximized, the Maximize button becomes a Restore button. Minimizing or restoring a window automatically changes the Restore button back to a Maximize button.

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.

Note: Maximizing a form at run time generates an OnResize event. The WindowState property reflects the current state of the window. If the WindowState property is set to "Maximized", the form is maximized independently of the settings for the MaxButton and BorderStyle properties.

This property is not for MDIForm objects.

Example

The following statement returns True if the max button is available for the form:

bMaxButton = frm1.MaxButton
