Windows Forms Question

[1nsp1r3d]

Hi all, I've started coding a windows form without the designer and suddenly I needed to set one of this property. Then I took a look at the code and saw that the designer added a function InitializeComponent() and did the setting of the property there. Couldn't the property be set in the Form's constructor? And where can I find some docs on InitializeComponent() cause I looked at MSDN and couldn't find any. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Regards

Of course you can set the properties in the constructor. I bet the VS designer just creates an "InitializeComponents" method so it can better keep track of the changes made directly through the designer. That's why the designer can get confused if you modify the "InitializeComponents" section too much. regards

But is this function automatically called? Because I cannot see any point where it is called.

Take a closer look at the Form() constructor ;)

Hello Dear... InitializeComponent() Is not a special thing ! This is a common function. It will call in Constructor.You can move all codes in this function to the constructor directely ! But You can't change this codes in designer ! Designer (VS.NET) Protects this portion of codes.If you change some codes in this area,Designer will reproduce theme at each rebuild. I hope this was helpful for you, Bye
