Resize the window to a button size

i want to be able to resize the whole window to a first button size on that button click. And restore it's original size on next click. I hope that there are some implementations of this kind of functionality, but didn't find it yet. Could someone share an example or describe the plan how to manage it nicely.

I thought that i should dinamicaly create all other subcontrols and remove them from the grid on button click, to be able to shrink window size to first button only. Or maybe i can move all controls under the first button and make them invisible, so that only one that button was shown. Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Try this.
private Size _initialSize;

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    _initialSize = this.Size;
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if(this.Size == _initialSize)
    {
        this.Height = button1.Height + (this.Height - this.ClientSize.Height);
        this.Width = button1.Width + 10;
    } else
    {
        this.Size = _initialSize;
    }

}

1. private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) =>
2. Size = new Size(btn.Height, btn.Width);
or//
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) =>
Form1.Size = btn.size;
