How to disable resizing a custom user control?

[mehdi_mousavi]

Hi,
I've written a custom user control, say, MyControl that's being derived
from System.Windows. Forms.UserContr ol. The problem is that I need the
control to be fixed size; i.e., I donot want the control to be resized
either in design mode, or run-time. How can I do that?

Any help would be highly appreciated,

Cheers,
Mehdi

Re: How to disable resizing a custom user control?

For design-time, you can create a custom ControlDesigner and override the
SelectionRules property to specify the appropriate behavior.

For run-time, you can override the SetBoundsCore method of your custom
UserControl and enforce the desired size.
