Resize control during OnSizeChanged

[Mark Ingram]

Hi, ive got a custom control, which i like to keep at a fixed size (or a
fixed ratio). So, during the OnSizeChanged function, i specify values
for width and height. Which in *some* cases (i dont know why only some
cases) results in stack overflow because changing the height results in
OnSizeChanged being called again.

What is the correct way of altering the size of the control after a user
has changed the controls size?

Thanks

How I usually do this is to handle the resize event. I remove the
handler at the start of the event, and then make my change. Then I add
the handler back in. This way I avoid any & all recursive calls.

Hope it helps

OK thanks, worth considering. I find it strange why it works some times
and not all the time!

The only problem i can see is that we're supposed to be using
OnSizeChanged / OnResize, instead of using events.

Thanks
