Someone,

	I have an MDI Application and I want the Child/Document Windows
	of it not to have thickframes (for resizing) and not to have
	a maximize box.  I need all other functionality of the MDI
	API, including tiling, cascading, minimizing into icons, etc...

	But my windows are dialogs - and I do not want the user to be
	able to size them and maximize.

	I have tried,

		GetWindowLong, XOR with WS_THICKFRAME and WS_MAXIMIZE BOX

	and it works - at first.

	Subsequent MDI calls cause the style to revert once again back
	to a thickframe with a maximize box.

	How can I change it perminately ???

	I also tried SetWindowsLong (as above) in MDIACTIVATEAPP and
	other such places, but things get really quirky then.

	Any help would be greatly appreciated.

	Thanks...Regards |(8>
