Why can't I set my form to a smaller height/width?

[Matthew Speed]

I have a form that I would like to make very small on load. No matter how
small I set it the form gets set to 123x34 when it loads. I am free to
resize it smaller using my mouse but the initial size is still bigger than I
have set in my code, in this case 30x20.

Am I just stuck on this?

TIA

What is your MinimumSize property set to?

Here is my code:

MinimumSize = new Size(30,20);
Size = new Size(30,20);

Do you call that before or after InitializeComponent()?

Try setting the Bounds (rectangle) property before setting the MinimumSize
and instead of setting Size.

i.e.:
control.Bounds = new Rectangle(control.Bounds.Location , new Size(30,20));
control.MinimumSize = control.Bounds.Size;

This didn't work. I stepped through my code line by line and set
every place that addressed the size of the window to 30x20 and it
still won't go smaller.

I've solved the problem. The issue is with the border. If I change
the border to none I can make it as small as I want.
