TabControl.Clie ntSize doesn't resize Size

Consider adding a TabPage with size=(300,300) to a TabControl, then
calling

tabControl.Clie ntSize=tabPage. Size;

You would think tabControl.Size must now be BIGGER than
tabControl.Clie ntSize to accomadate room for the tabs and borders. In
fact they are the same size!

Compare this to adding a Panel to a Form. Form.Size would be slightly
bigger than Form.ClientSize after you called

form.ClientSize =panel.Size;

Anyone know what's going on?

Something else:

Form form = new Form(); //ClientSize is less than Size

TabPage page = new TabPage(); //ClientSize equals Size

TabControl control = new TabControl(); //ClientSize equals Size

I am thinking TabPage is wrong in that ClientSize must be smaller at
least in height to accomadate for the tab name.

It appears to me that if I change the Control's client size the controls size does not change to agree with the new size. Does it work like the VB6 ScaleWidth and ScaleHeight? That is after I change the Clientsize does the display stay the same but the number of units required to reference a given point changes? Anyway, it appears to me that If I want to change to size of the control so that the client size is some value, I need to...

Hi all, I have a CheckedListBox on one pane of a TabControl on a form. I find that whenever the user clicks a different tab then comes back, any checks that were in the list have disappeared. After a bit of experimenting I have discovered that the problem only occurs when the CheckedListBox is using a dataset table as the source. If I manually add items to it's collection using the properties window, it works fine. If I bind it to a...

Can anyone explain why when i set the .ClientSize of a form, and then check the .ClientSize when the resize event fires, it is slightly off, generally 20(varys) pixels in the height but not always. I have tried many things to try to get the clientsize to set properly such as setting autoscale to false among other things, but the client size will just not set properly. If I check the client size immediatly after i set it it is correct but...

We have form that is used as the base class of all of our forms, let's call it BaseApplicationForm. We have another form, say ChildApplicationForm that inherits from BaseApplicationForm. The child form implements an event handler for the Resize event. Inside BaseApplicationForm.InitializeComponent, this.ClientSize is set to a value. On most of our developers' machines, this.ClientSize = ....; does NOT fire the Resize event, which makes...

I have a few hundred forms in my application. All are based on a custom base form class. I decided that I wanted to globally change the look and feel of many of the controls in my application - including the tab control. I did this by writing a component that I attached to the form. The component has a "Start" function which takes the form as a paramater. This cycles through all the controls on the form, changes some of the properties...
