vrf Runtime size of .NET control

Question asked by VRFuser on Jan 7, 2008

Thanks, Gary.  I left out the height because that was working for me.  The full suite of properties is:
 
Statusbar.width

Statusbar.height

Statusbar.size

Statusbar.size.width

Statusbar.size.height

 

 

You can either set the height and width separately, or set the "size" which is a structure which you have to build using System.Drawing.Size.

 
But, I've figured out my problem, as you'll see in my next post.  Basically, you can only make the size smaller than the size you made it on the panel, not bigger.

Firstly My guess is that

 

Statusbar.width or

Statusbar.size   or

Statusbar.size.width

 

Should be

 

Statusbar.width or

Statusbar.height   or

Statusbar.size

 

Secondly are you setting the height and width and then setting the Statusbar to visible.  Because after the size parameters are changed you’ll need to redraw the object to see the change.

 

Cheers,

Hello all,

 

I can't figure out how to control the size of a Statusbar control properly at runtime.  I can set the height of the control, but the width remains unchanged (when I read it back and visually) whether I set it using

 

Statusbar.width or

Statusbar.size   or

Statusbar.size.width

 

MSDN has this statement in the documentation:

 

Because the Size class is a value type (Structure in Visual Basic, struct in Visual C#), it is returned by value, meaning accessing the property returns a copy of the size of the control. So, adjusting the HYPERLINK "http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/betxbs3a(VS.80).aspx"Width or HYPERLINK "http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tk7tftxw(VS.80).aspx"Height properties of the Size returned from this property will not affect the HYPERLINK "http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bk74axfh(VS.80).aspx"Width or HYPERLINK "http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k9w3e9xh(VS.80).aspx"Height of the control. To adjust the Width or Height of the control, you must set the control's Width or Height property, or set the Size property with a new Size.

 

 

Which is clear as mud to me (isn't that what I'm doing?).  Can anybody shed some light on this?

 

BTW, I have the same issue with the RichTextBox, though it actually returns the height and width as set, but the box hasn't changed it's size visually.

 

Thanks,

 

Best regards
