crazy UserControl

[Galen Somerville]

I have a user control with a Panel and five Labels. The end result is a
circular volume control (no actual circle is shown). The Size is 90,97

I fire up VB2005, Select Windows Application, add a couple of buttons and my
user control. The buttons are just to run the code that sets the volume to a
preset value.

The control displayed is the correct size (90,97). Everything works as
expected. I can even grab the volume pointer and drag to some other setting.

Now I load up my application and go to the proper form. I place the user
control, from the toolbox, onto my form. The size becomes 105, 119 (not the
expected 90,97). I cannot change the size !! Notice that the aspect ratios
are not the same.

I've tried setting it to Autosize=True and GrowandShrink. Nothing helps.

Where oh where did I go wrong?

Hi Galen,

The default constructor of your control has the clue. Make sure you are
putting in the right values in there.

Hope this helps.

As a guess (I can't see any code for your control), try overriding the
DefaultSize property to return a size of (90, 97)

I set up this Circular Volume control using the procedures in Help. I
believe it was setting up a Clock user control. That Clock control and the
way my control operates is purely coincidental.

I have put the user control on my web site and I would appreciate someone
looking at it to see why it doesn't resize correctly.

http://home.surewest.net/galen/index.html under Downloads.

The control would typically be setup using the following:
CircVol1.Name = "A"
CircVol1.BackCo lor = Me.BackColor
CircVol1.VolVal = 128

Clicking any label sets the volume to that position.
Clicking anywhere in the Panel (Orange color) sets the volume to that
position because of Mouse events.
Dragging anywhere in Panel moves the volume accordingly.

Thanks

Did you get my direct Email on this subject?

For some reason I couldn't make a reply via the newsgroup.

Hi Galen,

Thanks for posting!

From your description, my understanding is that you drag the current
control to a "proper" form, and then the size of the control will be
resized. If I have misunderstood anything, please let me know.

I have downloaded your control and performed the test. Unfortunately, I
can
not repro the current issue. So, I think maybe there is something
unclearly
for the "proper" form which was mentioned before. In this scenario, I
attach my project here. Please indicate whether my project is correct. If
not, supplying a demo which can repro the current issue is appreciated.

The attachment which is zipped format is my project for the issue.

Thanks for your understanding!
