Hi all
I have a Form that is inherited from a main form. On the child form I am
putting 2 panels directly on the form, not in any other controls. If I build
the project, 1 of the panels decides to re-size itself, but the other one
doesn't. Obviously, I don't want the panels re-sizing every time I perform a
build.
Has any-one encountered this behaviour at all? If I look at the code in the
form, the size of the panel is correct, but viewing it in the designer it
goes off the edge of the form cos the size is wrong.
Regards,
Steve.

Steve,
Have a look at the properties of the controls.
They may have Docking and Anchoring set.
The Dock property and Anchor property causes the control to hang on to the
edges of its parent control (Form) so it will strech/shrink to suit the form
size.

Hi Doug
Sorry, I should have been more descriptive in my first post. I know about
the Anchor and Dock properties and what they're used for, the problem is
that the control is re-sizing after a build, not after re-sizing the form
the control is on. The Anchor and Dock properties are set to None.
Imagine this, you have a form that has 2 Panel controls, you've just sized
them how you want them on the form. The form cannot be re-sized and the
Anchor and Dock properties are None (or Top, Left cos the behaviour after
the build is the same regardless). Everything looks good, you then build the
Assembly, and suddenly 1 of the Panel controls is re-sized so it stretches
beyond the size of the form. If you look at the Properties of the Panel in
the Designer it states the Size is (482, 296) when you want the Size to be
(408, 32), if you look in the Code window the Size of the control is set to
(408, 32) which is what you want it to be. I just can't understand why the
control suddenly decides to re-size on the form after a Build, and it's only
1 control as well, the other one remains fine!
Have you any idea why this is happening??

Steve

Changing the max or min size of a form can be in code, but if I do that then
it causes build errors in my application. The build error is: Expression is
a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment. If the program
is run in spite of the build errors then we see that the code actually works.
Is there a way to resolve the build error issue?

It it possible to change a button's or text box's font size during runtime?
When I try to build my application with this code:

I can change a button's text property during runtime, but I'd also like to

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
