Stephen,

Gotcha...I just checked this out and the reason the setting isn't "sticking" is because VS .NET doesn't sees "false" as the default value for the AutoSize property, and so when you set it to false in the property sheet it doesn't add a line of code to the InitializeComponent section. To fix this, in mmLabel, I added an override for the AutoSize property and set a "DefaultValue" attribute on the property. This will be included in the upcoming version 1.1.

Regards,
