How to Lock a Form or How to set a form as Not Movable as well as Fixed Size

Introduction:-

                  Here I have explained how to Lock windows form in windows application.

Description:-

                 In my previous article I have explained Generate Barcode in windows application .Here I will explain how a form can’t be movable. We can lock a windows form to set as fixed position where a user can not able to resize that form as well as they can’t able to change the position of that form.

Sometimes it will be a mandatory when you want to open window inside a master form with fixed size. Then we definitely go for this approach.

It is very simple to fix a window form by some few lines of code in your windows application. For this write a override method for WndProc.
 

For fix the Size of your Form, Set the Properties of your Form as 

FormBorderStyle:FixedSingle

If you want to Lock your window form then write following code in your application.

protected override void WndProc(ref Message message)

 

        {

 

            const int WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0x0112;

 

            const int SC_MOVE = 0xF010;

 

            switch (message.Msg)

            {

 

                case WM_SYSCOMMAND:

 

                    int command = message.WParam.ToInt32()& 0xfff0;

 

                    if (command == SC_MOVE)

 

                        return;

 

                    break;

 

            }

 

            base.WndProc(ref message);

 

        }
