Form Minimum and Maximum Size Properties

[Anthony Mansfield]

Is there a known issue with the Minimum and Maximum size properties of the windows form?

I have MDI Child forms with the FormBorderStyle set to Sizable and Minimum sizes established. The form will not resize smaller than the Minimum size in the designer but the Minimum and Maximum sizes do not seem to be recognized at run time.

Any thoughts/work arounds?

I should learn have learned my lesson by now. If you have a challenge, check the Windows Forms FAQ first! I found a C# example that I converted into VB.NET. The guys maintaining that FAQ get serious kudos for providing an awesome reference.

Here is the VB version:

Private Sub frmTestFind_Layout(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.LayoutEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Layout

If (Me.Bounds.Width < Me.MinimumSize.Width) Then
Me.Size = New Size(Me.MinimumSize.Width, Me.Size.Height)
End If

If (Me.Bounds.Height < Me.MinimumSize.Height) Then
Me.Size = New Size(Me.Size.Width, Me.MinimumSize.Height)
End If
End Sub
