Gui MaximizeBox and Minimize Box, Unexpected Behavior

[Mulsiphix]

I would like to keep the MinimizeBox and Close buttons for the window, but remove MaximizeBox. It doesn't seem to be working for me though. The Maximize Box is still present. This same behavior works if I apply it to only the MinimizeBox. Is it possible to show one but not the other?

Code: Select all

Gui, -Resize -MaximizeBox +LastFound ; Minimize Box active, Maximize Box greyed out.
; Gui, -Resize -MaximizeBox +MinimizeBox +LastFound ; Same behavior as above line.
; Gui, -Resize -MinimizeBox +MaximizeBox +LastFound ; Maximize Box active, Minimize Box greyed out.
; Gui, -Resize -MinimizeBox +LastFound ; Neither Minimize or Maximize boxes are present. Actually removed, which is what I would like to achieve, but I only wish to remove the Maximize Box.

Documentation for GUI says:

MinimizeBox (present by default): Enables the minimize button in the title bar.

MaximizeBox: Enables the maximize button in the title bar. This is also included as part of Resize below.

Resize: Makes the window resizable and enables its maximize button in the title bar. To avoid enabling the maximize button, specify +Resize -MaximizeBox.

Your script works just fine for me. The maximize button is there, but disabled. Note that the docs say that the respective buttons will be "disabled", not removed.

Ah, I misinterpreted it . Any idea if they can be removed, like it occurs when you use the following line:
 

Code: Select all

Gui, -Resize -MinimizeBox +LastFound ; Neither Minimize or Maximize boxes are present. Fully removed.

That's very interesting! Must be a Windows thing.

Code: Select all

Gui, -Resize -MinimizeBox +MaximizeBox +LastFound

also removes the minimize button and shows the maximize. Hmmm , sorry, can't answer that one!

You could create your own buttons and remove the whole title bar using the GUI, -caption +border-parameters?

Yeah, you're probably right about it being a Windows thing. It is actually still there if you look closely. I took an image of it on my computer, then inverted the image. The minimize button was still kind of hard to see, so I adjusted the levels to help make it clearly visible.
