TControl.DoAutoSize

For internal use only - call AdjustSize instead!

Declaration

Source position: controls.pp line 1229

protected procedure TControl.DoAutoSize; virtual;

Description

IMPORTANT: Many Delphi controls override this method and many call this method directly after setting some properties.

During handle creation not all interfaces can create complete Device Contexts which are needed to calculate things like text size.

That's why you should always call AdjustSize instead of DoAutoSize.
