Add forms.resizeComponent() or forms.deleteComponent() to FormsLuaLibrary.cs file

[KonkeyDong]

I was writing a minimap display for a Gameboy game and realized that there wasn't any way to resize form components such as a pictureBox. I was glancing at the code and noticed that there is a forms.setsize() method defined for resizing the entire form, but none for resizing any of the components.

Because of this, I have no way to resize a form for scaling reasons once I call forms.pictureBox() on a form. I would think that the method signature would be something like:

local component_handler = forms.resizeComponent(componentHandle, width, height)

I think this would be a simple yet handy feature to have as it would allow for more dynamic forms for display purposes. Thoughts?

I'm fairly sure forms.setsize() would in fact work for individual components? There even seems to be specific support for the pictureBox.

^ And if that wasn't available, you could have used forms.setproperty.

edit: We don't have documentation for what properties exist because it's just all of WinForms by reflection.

Thanks!

I didn't see where in the Lua Functions page what string values could be used for the forms.setproperty(). I'll provide a list that I was able to find for anyone else that may have stumbled a similar problem while consulting Google:

• "Text": The text displayed by the control.
• "BackColor": The background color.
• "ForeColor": The text color.
• "Width": The width of the control.
• "Height": The height of the control.
• "Left": The X coordinate of the control.
• "Top": The Y coordinate of the control.

Important Notes:

• The exact properties you can modify depend on the type of control. For example, a TextBox has a Text property, while a PictureBox might not.
• If you try to set a property that doesn't exist or is incompatible with the control, you might encounter an error.
