Can't Dynamically Size RichTextBox Control??

[vanvee]

Hi

I have a user control that contains a RichTextBox in vb.net. In my
program, I create multiple instances of this control (with the
RichTextBox being in each one), that appear one above the other on a
panel. The problem is that each control may have varying amounts of
data, and so each RichTextBox (within each control) needs to size to
fit the amount of text within that RichTextBox. I've tried
multiplying the size of a single line times the number of lines in the
RichTextBox but that doesn't seem to work. Any help would be
fantastic!!!

If there is any other control (other than RichTextBox) which might
handle this better, or perhaps a third party control, I would love to
hear about it!!!!

Thanks SO much in advance!!

Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may get
a stray answer to VB.NET questions here, you should ask them in newsgroups
devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups with either the
word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups...

microsoft.publi c.dotnet.genera l
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb
microsoft.publi c.vsnet.general

There are some others, but these should get you started.
