Handling a change in Height

Hi,

I am dynamically adding a series of custom labels (inherieted from the
label) controls that respond to the click event. When this event fires the
height of the label is doubled to allow more data to be displayed. However
when I do this I was the rest of the controls to move down. How should I go
about this?

Richard,

Many thanks for your prompt reply. After googling and not finding anything,
I was afraid that this was the case.
