for some reason this code isn't working, on the other form the label.text = "900"; and that made the form2.label = "900"; and then we converted the text in form2 to a value, and then i made it so form2's width plus the value that is in the textbox, so the form2's width should be longer, but its not!?. whats the problem with the code?

C#

private void ShortCut_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
         int value = 0;
         try
         {
                  value = Convert.ToInt32(form2size.Text);
         }
         catch
         {}
         this.Size = new Size(this.Size.Width + value, 130);
}

hi,

Based on your post, i think you want to change the width attribute value of the forms. You can use Unit.Pixel() method in pixel or Unit.Percentage() method in percentage.

Solution 1

You're using form2size.Text, aren't you missing something there? Do you want to get the form's text value or the text value from a label/textbox in the form?

i want what ever number form2size.text number to be added the the size of the form

@systemerror121, have you tried to set a break point at "value = Convert.ToInt32..." and see what value "form2size.Text" has ?

Fabio V Silva 16-May-11 2:40am

Yes, I understood that. My question is, where is that text in the form2size? Is it in the form title or is in a label or textbox?

its a label, and it is located in form2

Fabio V Silva 16-May-11 3:35am

Then you need to change form2size.Text to form2size.<label name>.Text

form2size is the label

Fabio V Silva 16-May-11 7:06am

Ok, I was bit confused on that one. So, after you assign its value to the variable what's the value of the value variable?

[no name] 16-May-11 7:31am

well, lets say on the form1.label.text = "9"; so when form2, loads form2.label.text = this.width + form1.label.text, so say the form is 40, so then it would be 40 + 9 = 409 or 49, so then the forms width = 409 or 49

If you stop execution on this line "this.Size = new Size(this.Size.Width + value, 130);" what's the value of the "value" variable and what's the value of "form2size.Text"?

[no name] 17-May-11 1:59am

the value should be form2size, coz it converted a integer
