Control Padding...

[Johnny Jörgensen]

How do you set the Padding for a dynamically created control?

e.g.

Label myControl = new Label();
myControl.Padding.Left = 5;

Doesn't work. It says that System.Windows.Forms.Control.Padding is not a
variable....

Same as for any control:
myControl.Padding = new Padding(2,3,4,5); // ltrb
or
myControl.Padding = new Padding(5); // all

This oddity is because Padding is a value-type - I can explain more if
this doens't make sense...

No, it makes perfect sense now that you mention it - I could kick myself for
not thinking of it...

Thanks,
