Question

In my application I am deriving all my forms from a common BaseForm.

Now I need to disable the resizing in the BaseForm so that derived forms are not resizable at design-time.

How to achieve that?

I need it at design-time

Answer 1

This seems to work:

[BaseForm.cs]

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    using System.Windows.Forms;

    public partial class BaseForm : Form
    {
        public BaseForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            this.MaximumSize = this.MinimumSize = this.Size;
        }
    }
}

[DerivedForm.cs]

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class DerivedForm : WindowsFormsApplication1.BaseForm
    {
        public DerivedForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}
