Windows Forms and Controls - The Complete Form Class (ctd.)

The Complete Form Class (ctd.)

Now deep breath it’s time for the Constructor or the New procedure. This runs when a new instance of the form is created.

   Public Sub New()
       MyBase.New()
       Me.cbCancel = New System.Windows.Forms.Button()
       Me.cbAccept = New System.Windows.Forms.Button()
       Me.txtEnteredText = New System.Windows.Forms.TextBox()
       Me.lblEnterText = New System.Windows.Forms.Label()
       Me.SuspendLayout()
       '
       'cbCancel
       '
       Me.cbCancel.Anchor = (System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Bottom Or System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Right)
       Me.cbCancel.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel
       Me.cbCancel.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(204, 108)
       Me.cbCancel.Name = "cbCancel"
       Me.cbCancel.TabIndex = 3
       Me.cbCancel.Text = "Cancel"
       '
       'cbAccept
       '
       Me.cbAccept.Anchor = (System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Bottom Or System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Right)
       Me.cbAccept.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(112, 108)
       Me.cbAccept.Name = "cbAccept"
       Me.cbAccept.TabIndex = 2
       Me.cbAccept.Text = "Accept"
       '
       'txtEnteredText
       '
       Me.txtEnteredText.Anchor = (System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Top Or System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Right)
       Me.txtEnteredText.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(132, 24)
       Me.txtEnteredText.Name = "txtEnteredText"
       Me.txtEnteredText.TabIndex = 1
       Me.txtEnteredText.Text = "TextBox1"
       '
       'lblEnterText
       '
       Me.lblEnterText.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(20, 28)
       Me.lblEnterText.Name = "lblEnterText"
       Me.lblEnterText.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(100, 16)
       Me.lblEnterText.TabIndex = 0
       Me.lblEnterText.Text = "Enter Text:"
       Me.lblEnterText.TextAlign = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft
       '
       'frmMain
       '
       Me.AcceptButton = Me.cbAccept
       Me.AutoScaleBaseSize = New System.Drawing.Size(6, 14)
       Me.CancelButton = Me.cbCancel
       Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(292, 153)
       Me.Controls.AddRange(New System.Windows.Forms.Control() {Me.lblEnterText, Me.txtEnteredText, Me.cbAccept,

Me.cbCancel})
       Me.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Verdana", 8.25!, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular,

System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, CType(0, Byte))
       Me.MinimumSize = New System.Drawing.Size(200, 100)
       Me.Name = "frmMain"
       Me.Text = "Forms and Controls"
       Me.ResumeLayout(False)
   End Sub

A lot of interesting code in there which sets the all the properties of the controls to exactly what we set them to in the VS.Net designer. No other properties are mentioned because they were left at the defaults.

    I use VB.Net (framework 1.0.3705) on Windows 2000, and I noticed the 'MinimumSize' property doesn't seem to have any effect on my forms (MDIChildren). Does that property really prevent users from resi...
