Take a look and property BorderIcons.  Uncheck biMaximize.

1) even IF you get rid of Maximize/Minimize and especially the "general" application button, how do you counter alt-spacebar ? The button may not be there, but the functionality still is. I can intercept OnStateChange as a workaround, but I'd rather not see that menu pop up at all.

2) Is there a way to draw a form without titlebar but WITH standard OS borders? I'm currently using custom-drawn form (well actually, everything I do is "custom" :-) but nothing beats the speed of OS drawing...

1) Look into WinAPI, if you are using Windows. There's propably no crossplatform solution for thick bordered title-less windows. But Windows 7 can do it i believe, i'm just not sure if you can change it on fly. These are normally creation parameters for window.

2) Based on this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2277021/wpf-how-do-i-disable-the-systemmenu-shortcut-altspace
I tested on Lazarus, and this disables Alt+Space:

Code: [Select]

uses ... , LCLType;
...
procedure TForm1.FormKeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; Shift: TShiftState);
begin
  if (ssAlt in Shift) and (Key=VK_SPACE) then key:=0;
end;

Did you try property BorderStyle?  BorderStyle:= bsDialog gives you only the Close button, but there are other Styles as well.
