How to capture and handle maximize event?
John Pletka
happen is when the user clicks on the maximize box on the window, the
window will resize itself to fill the available Workspace, but not be
truly "maximized". I tried to capture the resize event and return -1,
but when I ran it through the debugger, the window maximized itself
first, then fired the resize event.
Does anyone know how to prevent a window from being maximized
(without disabling the maximize box on the window?)

You're probably going to get a lot of these, but why on earth would you want to
do that? It's totally inconsistent with every other Windows MDI application.
Having said that, I notice there's an event id called pbm_mdimaximize. I don't
know when that message it received, but it sounds promising.

(off the top of my head) that is fired when a maximize is requested. There
is also a Windows function that allows you to set the minimum and maximum
sizes that the user can make the window.
