Make a control have a fixed size

[MrPolite]

I always used to override the onResize method, but I found this other thing on MSDN. It works for controls or forms:

Protected Overrides Sub SetBoundsCore(ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As Integer, ByVal [width] As Integer, ByVal height As Integer, ByVal specified As System.Windows.Forms.BoundsSpecified)
        MyBase.SetBoundsCore(x, y, 150, 75, specified)
    End Sub

that would make your control to have a fixed size of 150, 75 and the users cant resize it

Hi Mr. Polite.

Another way would be to use a designer class.

The designer has an overridable property called SelectionRules.
In that you can manipulate wether the control can be resized, moved, or even selected.

So, by using that, you can achieve the same as e.g. a label control with the AutoSize property set to true.

hmm could you show us how to use a designer class then? hehe seems nice

Hi Mr. Polite.

I have attached a small project containing a usercontrol, and a testproject.

The usercontrol has a property called LockSize.
The designer checks this property to determine wether the control can be resized or not.

I hope you can use this.
