The problem I was having was that it would not honour the wrap inside the container it was in. Instead of wrapping, the textbox would get wider and wider as you typed and the container it was in would Autosize to the size the textbox wanted to be. By setting maxwidth when the parent container is resized it forces the textbox to wrap when it should. Its most likely I'm using the wrong type of parent panel control type (maybe?) but what I have is working to a point. It is currently resizing larger but in some conditions it won't resize smaller. I've left it for now and will come back to it when I've more time up my sleeve.
Thanks for your reply, I'll check out the UpdateLayout too. I imagine I'd need to hook up to a completed event for it to work properly (without any possible race conditions) cheers, Stephen On Mon, Sep 26, 2011 at 1:46 PM, Patrick Klug <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Stephen, > > You shouldn't have to set the MaxWidth manually.
