Im trying to resize a form with code while using Application.OpenForms, but I know that I have missed something simple but I can't get it too work.

C#

foreach(Form frm in Application.OpenForms)
{
  System.Drawing.Size newSize = new System.Drawing.Size(500,500);
  frm.Size = newSize;

  //Have also tried
  frm.Width = 500;
  frm.Height = 500;
}

[EDIT]Sorry I forgot to say, each form that needs to be resized is a borderless form (with toplevel set to false) that is in a panel

[SOLVED] changed the loop to the Panels controls collection and it works. for example.

C#

foreach(Form frm in Panel2.Controls)
{
 System.Drawing.Size newSize = new System.Drawing.Size(500,500);
 frm.Size = newSize;
 frm.refresh();
}

Any help will be grateful

Thanks
Simon

Thanks Abhinav,

I found my problem - these forms where added to a panel which are also borderless, so instead of looping the openForms collection change it to the Panel.Controls it all of a sudden works I knew it was simple.

Thank you for your help :)
