Have a re-sizable form in an MDIParent form.
Want to limit the forms minimum size. I set the forms minimum size property,
but it doesn't seem to have any affect.
Does anyone no what I can do here?

Thanks in advance
Sean

Are you saying that what I am doing with the minimun size property should
work with .Net 1.1?

That is what I have running, and it isn't working

It works for the mdiParentForm, but not the mdiChildForms

It works on .NET 1.1 on my Windows XP Pro machine and it works for .NET
1.0 on my XP Pro machine when using the code I posted previously.

Which version of Windows do you use?
 
XP proffesional.

Had .Net 1.0.3705 which was installed with VisualStudio Acedemic.

Updated to 1.1

Use the 'MinimumSize' property in .NET 1.1, for .NET 1.0 I have written

The original version is still installed.
Maybe I'm expecting the wrong thing here.

I have a sizable form.
When I am dragging it to a smaller size, I want it to stop at my forms
minimum size. It won't do this now.

I have my program set up now so that the forms re-size event has a procedure
that checks the form size while it is being dragged.
When the width or height gets smaller than my minimum sizes, the form
resizes itself to its minimum size.
This does what it is supposed to, but the dragging action is continued even
after the form is re-sized, causing a flickering action.
Is there a way to cancel this dragging action once the desired size is
reached?

Thanks
