Resizing combobox in toolstrip with window?

Question

I have the following code:

private void Ibrowser_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //add resizing to cburl
        }

What I want to be able to do is resize my combobox as i resize the actual window of my program. The bigger the window gets, the bigger the combox gets. Vis-Versa.

Would appreciate any help, thanks.

Hi,

You can use a logic like below.

        int width = 0;
        private void Form8_ResizeBegin(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            width = this.Size.Width;
        }

        private void Form8_ResizeEnd(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            toolStripComboBox1.AutoSize = false;
            decimal newWidth=Convert.ToDecimal(toolStripComboBox1.Width) * (Convert.ToDecimal(this.Size.Width) / Convert.ToDecimal(this.width));
            toolStripComboBox1.Width = Convert.ToInt32(newWidth);
            
        }

Hi,

You can use the following code.

        decimal comboFormWidthRatio = 0;

        private void Form5_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            toolStripComboBox1.AutoSize = false;
            comboFormWidthRatio=Convert.ToDecimal(toolStripComboBox1.Width) / Convert.ToDecimal(this.Width);

        }
     
        private void Form5_SizeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            
            decimal newWidth=Convert.ToDecimal(this.Bounds.Width) * comboFormWidthRatio;
            toolStripComboBox1.Width = Convert.ToInt32(newWidth);
        }

Answer 4

This did not work, it seems that my combobox just completely leaves the window or form? Do i have to keep the other code you provided?
