Question:
How do I get a Form's width to be less than 120 (approx) pixels?
Answer:
This is controlled and overridden by Windows. Under some versions
of Windows, you may be successful by creating a message handler to
respond to the WM_GETMINMAXINFO message:
Example:
{Place this code in the private section of the Form declaration}
procedure WMGetMinMaxInfo(var Message: TWMGetMinMaxInfo);
message WM_GETMINMAXINFO;
{Place this code in the Form implementation section}
procedure TForm1.WMGetMinMaxInfo(var Message: TWMGetMinMaxInfo);
begin
with message do begin
MinMaxInfo^.ptMaxSize.x := 20;
MinMaxInfo^.ptMaxSize.y := 20;
MinMaxInfo^.ptMinTrackSize.x := 20;
MinMaxInfo^.ptMinTrackSize.y := 20;
end;
end;
