Form size question...

[GTi]

I have a resizeable form (window) and some controls inside.
When the form resizes I want the controls to follow.
So I use this.panel1.Move to handle the event.
But I need to know the size if the working area of the form.
I have a app. bar, menu and a Status Panel.
I know that this.Height-75 will give me the correct working height,
but this look ugly. What when the user use another app. bar height.

Is there another class to get the correct height AND width of the working
area in a form?

You have the Size and ClientSize properties... :

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show(this.Size.ToString());
MessageBox.Show(this.ClientSize.ToString());
}

Can't you use the Anchor settings? WinForms will resize or reposition the
controls for you.

Hi Alan,
After playing around with the Anchor settings,
it seems that it is exactly what I want.
Removing the left settings did it.

Thanks!!!
