I need to create a create(X) option without any minimize or maximize options for my windows form application. I am trying to create a setup file and hence I require this.I put my control box property to false but the rest of the coding I don't know. Any help??

Not clear what do you mean by " minimize or maximize options"? Do you want to exclude minimize/maximize/restore capabilities? It's easy, just look at the form MSDN help page. Or do you want to exclude non-client form area? Or what?

yea exactly . I want to exclude the restore and minimize/maximize option and have just the close capability . I checked the msdn help but couldn't find anything specific.Just like what you see when you run a setup file(.exe)

Look at Solution 1. Even though it is formulated in a sloppy manner, this is what you can do. If you did not get it, you are welcome to ask a question.

Solution 1

set the minimizebox and maximizebox property of the form to false
the controlbox property to true
now the x(closebutton) is the only one left
