How-To set Height of a Textbox?

Question

For my single line Textbox, I set is Border = None. On doing this, the height turns very small. I can't programamtically set the height of the textbox. If I set any border, then again its fine, but I don't want any border. Even the text is not visible completely - so the font size is already bigger the the textbox height.

I tried creating a custom textbox, and set the Height of it, but it has no effect. How to handle this situation? Any help is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

There is a simple way not to create a new class. In Designer.cs file:

this.textBox1.AutoSize = false;
this.textBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(228, 25);

And that's all.

Answer 2

TextBox derives from Control, which has an AutoSize property, but the designers have hidden the property from the PropertyGrid and Intellisense, but you can still access it:

public class TextBoxWithHeight : TextBox {

  public TextBoxWithHeight() {
    base.AutoSize = false;
  }
}

Rebuild and use.
