FormBorderStyle = None

[Andrés David Santacoloma Isaza]

Hello:
I have a problem when i set the property FormBorderStile = None.
The problem is because the size of the form change.
For example i set the size on (400,300), save and close the form; when i open the form, its size have been changed.
what's the solution for it?

thanks.

Hi, 

This doesn't seem to happen. 
If you have a form that has a FormBorder style of FixedSingle and a size of 400x300 and change the form border style to None, then yes, the size changes because you are taking away the border. But if you then set the size again in the designer to 400x300 then it always stays the same.

Hi Richard:
I has changed the size again, but every time I close my form or my project, it size has changed and always increase.
I don't know the solution
Thanks

Are you perhaps inheriting from a Base RadForm that has a default, readonly size property? 
Seems to work fine in the latest version of the controls for me.

Hello:
I have Telerik RadControls for Winforms Q2 2009 SP1 Version 9.2.1
What's the latest version?

[Richard Slade]

Latest is 2010 Q2 914
I can't replicate what happens on yours (Im using the latest version)

The problem arises due to the order of the items in the designer file

if you swap the order the problem will go away

'Incorrect order this will cause the form to grow each time you open it by the size of the header

Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(750, 450)
Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None

make this simple change in the designer

'Correct order
Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None

'Placed before the the size of the form
 Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(750, 450)

There is one catch, as the form designer is rebuilt each time you add a control to the form, so you need to make this change each time.

I will log this with Telerik as I think it could be called a bug
