Change the Width and Height of Main form at runtime

[walkesh]

Is it possible to change the width and height of an application's main form at run time? I have an application where when a certain option is selected, I want to make the main form smaller (in height and width) and once that mode is completed, restore to its original size. I have tried to set the height and width through the code with frmMain.Height and frmMain.Width, but the form is not changing its size.

Any help would be appreciated.

For starters, it won't if you have set constraints on width and height, set AutoSize to true, or set BorderStyle to some specific styles (can't remember the ones that don't allow resizing just now).

Tonhu is right, but otherwise working in the way you described above should be just fine.
