Hi all,
I am developing some custom windows controls and I want every control to be resized when used on the windows form. For example if there is a text box the user can extend the length by just extendeing the legnth of the control. I cannot do this succesfully at then moment I have tried to set AutoSize to true and the AutoSizeMode to GrowAndShrink but it doesn't work.
Do you have any examples?
Thanks in Advance
Tony
Here is my code for the control
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Data;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace UserControls.UIControls
{
public partial class LabelledText : UserControl
{
public delegate void EventHandler(Object sender, EventArgs e);
public event EventHandler onGetFocus;
public event EventHandler onLostFocus;
public LabelledText()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public string LabelText
{
get
{
return lbl.Text;
}
set
{
lbl.Text = value;
}
}
public ContentAlignment LabelAlign
{
get
{
return lbl.TextAlign;
}
set
{
lbl.TextAlign = value;
}
}
public string TextBoxText
{
get
{
return txt.Text;
}
set
{
txt.Text = value;
}
}
public HorizontalAlignment TextBoxAlign
{
get
{
return txt.TextAlign;
}
set
{
txt.TextAlign = value;
}
}
private void LabelledText_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txt.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control;
}
private void txt_Leave(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txt.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control;
}
private void txt_Enter(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txt.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
}
}
}

Hi Tony,
Just Use Following Code in you Control.
private void UserControl1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
textBox1.Width = this.Width;<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
private void UserControl1_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
textBox1.Width = this.Width; <br />
}
Note : Change Control Name According to your control
Let me know when done !!!
Thanks

Thanks Abhijit that works fine.
However I have a label on the left of the textbox which I want the user to extend it. Also I want the label to get extended automatically when typing long text into it. For example if the text on the label is long like 'International Accounts:' the label should be extended to the size of the text in order to display the whole text.
Thanks in advance
Tony

Set the anchors for the text box.

How do I set the anchors for the textbox?
Sorry I am new to it
Thanks
Tony

In the designer if you select the text box and look in the properties grid there is one called Anchor in the Layout section. You can set which sides to anchor and when the form is resized the control will try to stay the same distance from the edge. However, I don't think a TextBox will stretch up and down unless you have Multiline set to true.

I am going to try it.
But how can I make the label extensible as well?
Thanks for your help

I don't know if it can be hidden - but the AllowScriptChange property will not allow it to be changed if set to false.

Its not possible. you have create own control for that.
|
|
|
|

FontDialog.AllowScriptChange = false;

I dont think it is possible to hide. its default windows Font dialog.
For that you have create your own custom Control

Set the DateTimePicker.Format property to Custom and DateTimePicker.CustomFormat property to space.

But i want to do in runtime.....

You can do this at runtime. What is the problem?
|

In addition to what d@nish said, you must initialize the value to DateTime.MinValue, and in the methods which use this value, make sure it's not DateTime.MinValue - this ensures the user has selected a date.
Also, in your dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged handler, use dateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Long; or whatever format you want - otherwise the user will see an empty box, no matter what he selects!
Cheers,
Vikram.
