Description

TSizeConstraints is a TPersistent descendant which contains size constraints used to control the minimum or maximum width or height for an associated control. TSizeConstraints is the type used to implement the Constraints property in TControl and descendent classes.

The initial values for properties are retrieved from the widgetset class instance for the Control when its handle has been allocated. Values in TSizeConstraints properties are used when the Control is resized or its layout is adjusted, and prevent the control from being resized to Width or Height values that are in excess of the specified minimum or maximum values. If properties are modified in TSizeConstraints, the associated control is updated to apply the new size constraints (when needed).
