You can achieve this easily by setting the Form's 'MinimumSize and 'MaximumSize properties in the Property Browser, or in code:

1. set the Width component of both 'MinimumSize and 'MaximumSize to the same value.

2. set the Height component of 'MinimumSize to the minimum Form height you wish to allow.

3. set the Height component of 'MaximumSize to the maximum Form height you wish to allow.

Solution 1

I would suggest overriding the OnResize() method, placing the logic in there.

C#

public class YourForm : Form
{
   private const int FixedWidth = 1024;

   protected override void OnResize(EventArgs e) {
      if (this.Width != FixedWidth) {
         return;
      }
      base.OnResize(e);
   }
}

This may have to be adapted to your real needs/logic.

Hope this helps.

This will not affect the Form's re-sizing. Even if you reset the Width of the Form in the over-ridden OnResize method, at run-time the user will still be able to drag and change the visible size: when a mouse-up terminates the drag, then the Form will "snap" to the fixed size, which would be confusing to the end-user. See my response below for a simple way to handle keeping a Form at a fixed width.
