HelloAll,

i just installed Lazarus on Suse 10 (KDE) and all seems to be OK. 
I use to work with Delphi7 for a couple of year... but i am a bit
confused under lazarus.

I try to wrote my first small program for Linux , and first problem
arise:

- how to have a nice and fix panel (main-program-window) without
resize border and maximise button ?  (eg. Tform1.borderStyle =
BSSingle ... ).

When i select BorderIcons maximise=false, i get an error message
telling that is not supported in gtk.

Sorry, i am a newbie ... but i thik it's impossible that fixed-
dimensions panels are not possible...

Thanks, Pietro

I'm not sure if I understand correctly but I think you don't want your
form to be resized when it's running?

I use the form's MAX and MIN height and width to input the same
dimensions as they are when designing.

hi Zorba,

thank you for answer..... yes you are right, i do want a form that has
fixed dimension (eg. 400x400) and user cannot maximise....

I will try your suggestion...... tnx !

Look at the properties of the Form
 They are in the Object Inspector.
 Change the Form Style proprty to a non resizable form.
 You can also remove the resize butons from Object Inspector.
