WPF - Hide minimize button of a window

Question

In WPF, how can I hide the minimize button (only the minimize, not also the maximize...) of a window.

The code in this forum almost work for me. The behavior of that code is that it's disabled the minimize button. But, how hide it?

As Bolu points out, you'd have to render your own window chrome. Windows will only hide the minimize/maximize buttons as a group. So even with the Win32 API you can't hide only the minimize button. You can disable it, but that's separate. — CodeNaked, Jun 29 '11 at 16:15

How about disabling the resize attribute?

ResizeMode="NoResize"

That doesn't do *just* what the OP asked for, if just removing the minimize/maximize buttons. It also turns off the ability to resize the window by dragging from the sides/corners. – Clint StLaurent Jan 02 '14 at 22:11

I think you would have to hide the default window title and draw your own titlebar.
