The code below allows you to create a Window which is OnTop, or normal, depending on what your application is.
It does not respond when the title bar is double clicked for maximize/restore. A visible menu bar is also available.
Form Properties necessary for this implementation:
-------------------------------------------------
MaxButton False Disabled in the code
Minbutton True/False Depending on the needs of the application
ControlBox True Needed for maximize/restore to work
WindowState Maximized To maximize the form on loading
BorderStyle 0-None Disables Alt+F4 for closing application
BorderStyle 1-Fixed Single Worked best for this application
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
BorderStyle of 2-Sizable is not a good choice, because the frame of the window shows up when you double-click
on the title bar.
Highlight all by clicking in box

' not do anything, though it is in restored mode.
