Prevent height measurement during development

Question

I am working on a user control. How can I prevent ONLY HEIGHT of control from changing during the development time interface.

Answer 1

You can override the method SetBoundsCoreand prohibit height changes by changing the value heightbefore calling the base class implementation.

private const int FixedHeightIWantToKeep = 100;

protected override void SetBoundsCore(
    int x,
    int y,
    int width,
    int height,
    BoundsSpecified specified)
{
    // Fixes height at 100 (or whatever fixed height is set to).
    height = this.FixedHeightIWantToKeep;
    base.SetBoundsCore(x, y, width, height, specified);
}

Answer 2

You can override the Height attribute from the Control class, and then set the BrowsableAttribute so that it does not appear in the property windows
