How to disable a minimize and maximize button in a web browser?

For a web app, the only thing you can do is open a full-screen window (i.e.
kiosk mode) to hide those buttons (which means you will be maximized, so
it's irrelevant whether maximize is hidden). Blocking access to the minimize
button does not guarantee that the user won't be able to switch to another
app or to the desktop.

The web platform is not intended for apps which need full control of the UI.
If you need that, you should be writing a traditional WinForms app.
