Resize the true control of the WindowsControlLibrary

Hi All,

I create a textbox in a WindowsControlLibrary project. Then I put this control into a form. However, when I resize the textbox, I can only resize the canvas rather than the textbox. How can I resize the textbox?

Hi @BenTam ,Welcome to Q&A.

From your description, your textbox and canvas should be a whole user control.

You need to set the anchor or dock property of the textbox in the user control.

Hi @Anonymous

I have 6 controls in the BaseControlLibrary project. Though your steps are successful for other controls. However, the steps cause the text property to be missing for the label and checkbox controls. The text property is necessary for these 2 controls. Therefore the steps are failed.

I need you to show me the problem you're having, I can't reproduce it. And if putting it in atableLayoutPanel will solve your problem?

Your question is why are you putting every native control back into a usercontrol?

You could not access the controls directly through the usercontrol, which has nothing to do with the anchor and dock properties that I asked you to modify.

After you do this, you could only manually modify the text (using foreach or reflection) through code.

private void userControl11_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { foreach (Control item in userControl11.Controls) { item.Text = "abc"; } }
