 Q128196 Maximized Form Shows Control Box, Min/Max/Restore Buttons

The answer for the following question:
In Microsoft Access 97, a form whose ControlBox, MinMaxButtons, and
ControlBox properties are set to No still displays the Restore and Close
buttons when you maximize the form.
is given by MS in Q128196 but when you maximize an MDI client window, you
get scroll bars in the Access windows where you can see all forms below.
What I want to do is to hide users the fact that there are other forms
hidden.  I do not want them to 'play around' other forms.
Is there a better solution?

If I understand your problem, the Q paper in question is bugged. It uses the
wrong API to get the area of the MDI Client window.

If you got to http://home.att.net/~dashish you should find code that
addresses this problem properly (although it is not a perfect solution).

The problem is that even when I chaged the Windows Style through WinSDK they
give you to remove the maximize, minimize but not the RESTORE!!!
