How to make a frame or dialog fixed on the screen

wxPython Users

Hi,

I need to make a wx.Frame or wx.Dialog 'fixed' on the
screen, so that users will not be able to move it or
resize it. Anyone can give me some help?

Thanks a lot!

I find that windows are only resizeable when I use the wxRESIZE_BORDER
window style. This is in the default style for frames, but not for
dialogs. (Are there systems where wxRESIZE_BORDER has no effect?)

You can also use SetSizeHints to set the minimum/maximum size to the
same value, thus preventing resizing even if you have a resizing border.

There are two ways to make a frame non-resizable. You can either use SetSizeHints in which case the frame will still look normal but can't be resized, or you can create the frame without the wxRESIZE_BORDER style in which case it will look a little different depening on platform.

The only way I know of to make a frame non-movebale is to ensure that it has no titlebar at all. Unfortunatly this means that you can also have no system menu, min/max box or close box. Try using style=0 (or use some BORDER style) and see what you get. In 2.5 for Windows there is a EVT_MOVING event (and EVT_SIZING) that will let you do something before the move happens, but it's not there yet for the other platforms.
