Basically I've got 2 problems.

1) The Maximise / Restore Button Maximises my window but doesn't restore it to the normal window state.
2) The PictureBox (WinBorder) is coded to move the form when mouse is pressed. But it's like the PictureBox isn't there.

PS: Close, Restore & Minimise are all custom buttons created within the program in another class.

Thanks,
Isaac

It's better to play with ControlBox Property of form than to code for Maximize, Minimize buttons.
