How can I change window form size at runtime?
I saw examples, but every one requires Form.Size property. This property can be set like here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/25w4thew.aspx#Y456, but I've created my application form in a visual tool and the form is created like this:
static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new Form());
}
How do I set that Size property now and then change it by the Form.Height and Form.Width methods?
You cannot change the Width and Height properties of the Form as they are readonly. You can change the form's size like this:
button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// This will change the Form's Width and Height, respectively.
this.Size = new Size(420, 200);
}
If you want to manipulate the form programmatically the simplest solution is to keep a reference to it:
static Form myForm;
static void Main()
{
myForm = new Form();
Application.Run(myForm);
}
You can then use that to change the size (or what ever else you want to do) at run time. Though as Arrow points out you can't set the Width and Height directly but have to set the Size property.
