WinForms: how to to continues Custom Control State After Form Resizing
I need help solving I'm dealing with a frustrating scenario in my WinForms application where I have a custom user control that doesn't retain its state after the main form is resized..... The custom control contains various UI elements, including text boxes and combo boxes, and I want to ensure that when the form is resized, the values in these elements remain intact. However, after resizing, they revert to their default values. Here's a simplified version of my custom control: ```csharp public partial class CustomControl : UserControl { public CustomControl() { InitializeComponent(); } public string CustomValue { get; set; } private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { CustomValue = textBox1.Text; } } ``` In my main form, I instantiate this control and add it to a panel. I handle the form's `Resize` event to adjust the control's layout. ```csharp private void MainForm_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e) { customControl1.Size = new Size(this.ClientSize.Width - 20, 50); } ``` The question arises when I resize the form, and I find that the `CustomValue` property is not maintained. I've attempted to explicitly set the control's properties in the `Resize` event, but that doesn't seem to help. I also tried overriding the `OnResize` method in the custom control, but it yielded the same results. Additionally, I'm not seeing any behavior messages, just the undesired behavior where the control’s data is lost. Is there a recommended way to keep the state of UI controls during such operations in WinForms? Any insights or best practices would be greatly appreciated! This is part of a larger service I'm building. Is there a better approach? Cheers for any assistance!
