Hi, in design mode, I like my form to be a specific size, typically the 
size of the most common user's screen (mine is much larger in 
resolution).  However, when the program runs, I want the form to show up 
maximized and unmoveable (unless the user presses the restore window 
button in the upper left).

I have added WindowState = wsMaximized to the OnShow() event, which does 
look like the form is maximized (the maximize button is disabled and the 
other is not) however, the form is movable.   I can restore the size of 
the app and then click the maximize button and then the form is 
maximized and unmovable.

How do I mimic that operation in some startup code, line OnShow?

OnShow() is not the best place for that. Move that code in the
Constructor insted.

Do you have some dialogs in OnActivate or similar?


Also, note that OnShow and OnActivate can be exectuted more
that once, so you need some additional code like this, to avoid
multiple execution ofsome parts of code:

void __fastcall TForm1::FormShow(TObject *Sender)
{
   static bool HasPassedOnceOnShow = false;
   if ( ! HasPassedOnceOnShow )
   {
      HasPassedOnceOnShow = true;
      WindowState = wsMaximized
   }
}

OnActivate definitely did the trick.

Thanks
