Anchor setting malfunctions for RectangleShape after Form minimized and restored

Question

Hi,
Using a Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.RectangleShape on a tab control as a border, I have fixed the distance between the outside rectangle edge and the main tab edge, by setting the RectangleShape anchor property to "Top, Bottom, Left, Right". The RectangleShape correctly resizes when the Form is resized. However if the Form is minimized and then restored, the right and bottom border edges of the RectangleShape are positioned past the visible portion of the tab control. Can this be remedied? A RectangleShape must be used. I'm using VB.NET 2008.

Thanks,
John.

Solution 1

Instead of using the Anchor property, try setting Dock to Fill and Margin to a suitable value.

No guarantees, as I have not tested it but it should work.

Thanks for the reply Henry. Unfortunately there does not appear to be a Dock or Margin property available for RectangleShape.

OK. Sorry about that.

FYI. If you had added a comment to my answer (as I am doing here), I would have got an Email to tell me there was a comment. As it is I only discovered this by accident. :)
