Hi All.

I'm building new components. I've made my first one, installed it and used it. So far so good.
I'm trying not to give to the component default sizes and I can(t figure out how this can be done. To be more precise, I inherit from a TCustomPanel to which I wold like to add some more properties and methods. I'd like also to give default sizes which are far from those of a TCustomPanel.
I've used

   Height := 25;
   Width := 75;

in the overridden creator and

   with GetControlClassDefaultSize do
     SetInitialBounds(0, 0, 75, 25);

without success. My new component works as expected anyway.

Did I miss something ?

Antonio.

Sorry guys, I got it: Uninstall and re-install package works with
     with GetControlClassDefaultSize do
       SetInitialBounds(0, 0, 75, 25);

But I still don't know it this is the right procedure anyway.

Antonio.

Should work, except with AutoSize. SetInitialBounds does the same but with less overhead.

with GetControlClassDefaultSize do SetInitialBounds(0, 0, 75, 25);

Note: The "with" has no effect.
SetInitialBounds should work. For AutoSize you need more.

For AutoSize you can override

GetControlClassDefaultSize.
