Hi,
     I have Tab Page inside Mainform.I have loaded another Form's instance inside Tab Page.I am setting form's instance width initially while it loads inside Tab page which sets it perfectly.Now when my mainform's Resize event fires it resize all other controls on main form properly(location and width of control according to form size) but it does not setting width of Instantiated form inside Tab page when i am setting its widhth with the width of Mainform(or Tabpage).I tried to put explicit width of form's instance but that even did not change its width. Any one has idea for Instantiated form width can be changed at runtime....

Thanks,
Maulik

maulik33,

Try adding a public method to your inserted form that handles the resizing of the inserted form. Then call that method when you resize your control tab.

good luck

Thanks for reply. I tried that way but i did not resized form . if i open Instantiated Form Separately(not in tab but as regular form opening) than it resizing properly.

I tried this and it worked.

I set up 2 projects in the same namespace (don't think the namespace matters though). The first project is a class library that contains a form (Form1). The second is a Windows Application with a form that contains a Tab control (FormTab). Here are excerpts of code from the projects:

Form1:
namespace InsideForm
{
  public partial class Form1 : Form
  {
    public Form1()
    {
      InitializeComponent();
      this.SetTopLevel(false);
    }

    public void ResetSize(System.Drawing.Size NewSize)
    {
      this.Width = NewSize.Width;
      this.Height = NewSize.Height;
    }
  }
}

You see the "ResetSize" public method. It will be called by "FormTab" when it is resized.

FormTab:
namespace InsideForm
{
  partial class FormTab
  {
    private InsideForm.Form1 MyForm;
...
    private void InitializeComponent()
    {
...
      this.MyForm = new Form1();
      this.MyForm.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(5, 5);
      this.MyForm.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(391, 296);
      this.MyForm.Name = "MyForm";
      this.MyForm.Visible = true;
      this.MyForm.Enabled = true;
...
      this.tabPage1.Controls.Add(this.MyForm);
...
      this.Resize += new System.EventHandler(FormTab_Resize);
      this.tabControl1.ResumeLayout(false);
      this.ResumeLayout(false);
    }

    void FormTab_Resize(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
      tabControl1.Width = this.Width - 22;
      tabControl1.Height = this.Height - 48;
      MyForm.ResetSize(new System.Drawing.Size(tabControl1.Width - 10, tabControl1.Height - 10));
    }
...
  }
}

I'm not sure why this is not working for you.

Thanks david. Your code looks straight forward but still my form size is not increasing. this form has been inherited one already and i am creating instance to load inside Tab page. form width seems protected by base form some how but you gave me good hint.my Main form and instance form are in diffrent namepsace though but as you said that does not matter. I will work on it and if make it post it to you...

Thanks
