Alright all of a sudden for some reason, on my program the Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons disappeared from the toolbar on the main form in VB6. As well as that, all the right click menu items when you click its toolbutton in the toolbar are gone as well, so the only possible ways to close the program is control alt delete... anyone know how to make it show up again? I did make a new form and it worked though idk.

i believe at your window properties is a window style property, which you can use to change the window style

Switch the ControlBox property back to True.

Generally, if something breaks, clicking wildly is not your best option.
