.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / September 2004How to save the form width and height in a variable?
Hello, What is the best method for saving the width and height of a form? What event can I use best for this? In other words, where to put the code: frmWidth = Form1.Width; Thanks, Tinus probably in the SizeChanged event of the form. This is fired whenever the Size property changes - either width or height. That way you'll have the current width and height of the form in your variables.

Here's one solution in VB that will give both Old and Current Size in one variable. \\\ Structure FormSize Public OldSize As Size Public CurrentSize As Size Public Sub New(ByVal Old As Size, ByVal Current As Size) OldSize = Old CurrentSize = Current End Sub End Structure Private MyFormSize As New FormSize(Size.Empty, MyBase.Size) Protected Overrides Sub OnResize(ByVal e As System.EventArgs) MyBase.OnResize(e) MyFormSize = New FormSize(MyFormSize.CurrentSize, Me.Size) End Sub ///  SignatureMick Doherty http://dotnetrix.co.uk/nothing.html > But how do I calculate (get) the difference without storing the original > width/heigth before the resize?
