        Compile and run the attached code
        Press <UnSet Resizable>
        <Click + Drag> any corner of the window

        import java.awt.*;

        public class FrameTest extends AppFrame
        {
            final String RESIZABLE = "Set Resizable";
            final String NOTRESIZABLE = "UnSet Resizable";
            Label label;

            public static void main(String args[])
            {
               FrameTest f = new FrameTest();
               f.show();
            }

            public FrameTest()
            {
               super("Frame Test");
               Panel panel = new Panel();

               add("North", panel);
               panel.add( new Button(RESIZABLE) );
               panel.add( new Button(NOTRESIZABLE) );
               panel.add( label = new Label( new Boolean( isResizable() ).toString() ) );
               resize(200, 200);
            }

            public boolean action(Event evt, Object obj)
            {
               if (evt.target instanceof Button)
               {
                  String lbl = (String) obj;
                  if ( lbl.equals(RESIZABLE) )

                     setResizable(false);
                  else
                     return false;

                  label.setText( new Boolean( isResizable() ).toString() );
                  return true;

               }

        hi,

            Currently Frames do not have methods to enable and disable minimize and maximize buttons.
        Only way out is to disable events to these buttons. Better method would be to have functions
        which allow the prograammer to enable or disable these buttons.

        Regards,
        Dipanshu.
