VB.net - Problem with Visual Inheritance

[rakeshchhabra]

I have designed a base form on which I have a Groupbox docked at the bottom, on the group box I have a button docked at the right.

Not i inherited this form and increased the width of derived form , as expected the button moved to the right hand corner of the form, but when i run the form the button appears somewhere in the middle of the form. If if resize the same form on runtime the button moves to right corner.

I don't know why the button does not go the expected location on the form load itself. I have tried to refresh the form on FormLoad. I have played with the access modifier ( Private, public) of the button on the base form , nothing seems to work.

Can anyone help ? Thanks in adv.

Can you post the designer code? And perhaps even your code if it isnt too lengthy?

Wow, that is fairly bizarre. I went through and changed a few things to no avail. Only thing that worked reliably was to add:

Me.Width += 5
Me.Width -= 5
 

To the form load. But thats a hack and not a solution. I will look into finding a solution.

Ya

I have used same trick but I need some forms to be of fixed size.
Is there some wayout for such forms ?

Thanks for your replies
