How can I remove just the Maximize button from a JFrame?

Question

I have a JFrame and want to remove the maximize button from that.

I wrote the code below, but it removed maximize, minimize, and close from my JFrame.

JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.add(kart);
frame.setUndecorated(true);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setSize(400, 400);

I want to only remove the maximize button from the JFrame.

this *might* help: http://geekycoder.wordpress.com/2009/07/17/java-tips-disabling-the-maximize-button-of-jframe/ — MByD, Apr 11 '11 at 18:05

Make it not resizable:

frame.setResizable(false);

You will still have the minimize and close buttons.

On my mac it disables the `+` button. Does it really remove the maximize button? – khachik Apr 11 '11 at 18:27
It does on Linux... In any case, no resize is what the OP is trying to achieve right? – sjr Apr 11 '11 at 18:49
I'm not trying to say you posted something wrong. Just interesting. +1, good answer, anyway. – khachik Apr 11 '11 at 18:52

You can't remove the button from a JFrame. Use a JDialog instead. It doesn't have a maximize button.

JDialog also doesn't have a minimize button, which may or may not be a problem. – Boann Feb 03 '13 at 01:47

In JFrame properties -> maximumSize = minimumSize. And resizable = false. Done! The button is disabled.

You used a JDialog instead of a JFrame. JDialog and JFrame have different behaviour, so just using a JDialog is not an universally applicable solution for the question. — leftbit, May 04 '20 at 10:55

public void removeAllTitleFrameButtons() {

                    breakFromLoop = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

--- just remove the "break" statement to remove and update the "if" if necessary. I use this to remove the close button. — Gino, Apr 13 '12 at 12:56

Go to JFrame's property and set resizeable unchecked.

change type property to utility. It will only show the close button.

If you are using Netbean then just unselect the resizable option in properties. It will only disable Minimize/Maximize Button.

There is described how to implement a "JFrame" without maximize and minimize buttons. You need just "incapsulate" a JFrame in JDialog :

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class RemoveMaxAndMinButton extends JDialog{
  public RemoveMaxAndMinButton(JFrame frame, String str){
    super(frame,str);
    addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent evt){
        System.exit(0);
            }
        });
  }
  public static void main(String[] args){
    try{
      RemoveMaxAndMinButton frame = new RemoveMaxAndMinButton(new JFrame(),
            "Remove the Minimize and Maximize button from the Title Bar");
      JPanel panel = new JPanel();
      panel.setSize(200,200);
      JLabel lbl = new JLabel("RoseIndia.Net");
      panel.add(lbl);
      frame.add(panel);
      frame.setSize(400, 400);
      frame.setVisible(true);
    }
    catch(IllegalArgumentException e){
      System.exit(0);
    }
  }

}

This is not a `JFrame` without minimize/maximize buttons. It’s just a regular `JDialog`. — Martin, Sep 15 '16 at 14:55
