- 1). Open an existing Visual Basic project. If you don't have one, create a new project by clicking "File," and "New Project." Select "Windows Forms Project." This will provide you with enough to carry on with the rest of the tutorial.
- 2). Left click the "Form1" window in your project and find the "BorderStyle" or "FormBorderStyle" property in the properties list. The exact name will depend on your version of Visual Basic. Change this from "Normal" to "FixedSingle." This will prevent the user from resizing your form with the mouse, but you aren't finished. Users can still resize your form with the "minimize" and "maximize" buttons.
- 3). Find the "MaximizeBox" property and change it to read "False." This will disable the "maximize" box in the window. You can do the same, if desired, for the "MinimizeBox."
