Stop a Windows Control from getting to Small?

[iKiLL]

Hi All

i am developing a Windows Mobile User Controll and i need to make sure that
it is not sized to small.
i am developing in C# with CF2 for Windows Mobile 5.

How is this done?

i am hoping there is like a Min width and height propertiy.

Override the OnResize event handler in your control and set the min/max
width & height there.

In that function you will be able to determine the min sizes you want
the forms/controls to be. Then stop resizing from "accepting" if the
new size is below defined constants.

This way the user will be able to make it bigger, but then smaller
after that, until it is less then the starting dimentions.

Hope that helps

hi Norman,

This is what i have and it dose not seem to work at Design time. Is this
wrong.

protected override void OnResize(EventArgs e)
{
if (base.Width < 219)
{
base.Width = 219;
}
if (base.Height < 93)
{
base.Height = 93;
}
base.OnResize(e);
}

private void QuestionControl_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
QuestionAnswerControl oControl = (QuestionAnswerControl)sender;
oControl.vScrollBar.Maximum = oControl.pnSlide.Height -
oControl.pnMain.Height;
}
Thanks,
ink
