Setting groupbar width programatically

[Patrick]

I''m trying to set the widht of several group bars programatically. The .Width in the group bar does not work. I found a forum page from 6/6/2003 9:50:26 AM where you said to use DockingManager.SetControlSize function. I tried that but the size does not change. I''ve attached an example program of what I''ve done. Thanks Patrick SetGroupbarWidthTest_7796.zip

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for sending the sample. I was able to see that setting the control size using SetControlSize method did not take effect in both the form load and the NewDockStateEndLoad event handlers. Also make sure you use the NewDockStateEndLoad event handler for performing all custom initialization of the docking layout. Here is a related KB article.

You can achieve what you require by

1) Turning off the AutoHideOnLoad property in the designer
2) Set the size and Autohide the groupbar in the
NewDockStateEndLoad event handler.

Here is the modified sample.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. Best regards, Stephen.
