i need to manage disable/enable Maximize,Resize button by programming in oracle mdi parent forms in 10g. Please give me solution of this problems.

I don't think we expose that for modification.

Some things you could try:

1) Create a when-window-resized trigger which will capture an attempt to modify the size, and then issue:

Set_Window_Property(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW, WINDOW_STATE, MAXIMIZE)
Set_Window_Property(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW, WINDOW_SIZE, x,y)

or similar.

2) Write your own bean to customize the webform at the java level

I havent used Forms for over a decade, so I'm not sure if these will help.

Also, try the Forms forum for other input.

Thanks for your answer.

When i used your code then, this trigger execute when i resize child window. But i need to manage parent window.

I think the trigger will fire when you resize *any* window (assuming the trigger is at form level).

You would then set the forms_mdi_window size to be the "fixed" size that you want.

I think that is the closest you can get to 'disabling' modifications to it.

My point is - I'm not sure we have a direct command to do that (for the MDI window).

So my suggestion was a workaround - ie, capture attempts to resize it, and then set it back to the size you want

its ok
