ShortcutCaption at runtime

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,
I am trying to create a ShortcutCaption at runtime in VB .NET 2005 and no matter what I try I cannot adjust the height or width of the control.
I have this on Load of my form and no matter what values I use for Height and Width the control appears the same size,

Dim scc As AxXtremeShortcutBar.AxShortcutCaption
scc = New AxXtremeShortcutBar.AxShortcutCaption

With scc

     .Top = 10
     .Left = 10
     .Height = 20
     .Width = 100
End With

Me.Controls.Add(scc)
Thanks

	not wanting to answer my own question but... it seems to work if you change the Height/Width after the control has been added into the container. For example if I do the Me.Controls.Add(scc) before scc.Height = xxx then it works. Is there any way around this?
