I've a problem resizing a form in 'design' mode of Visual C# 2008 Express.

There are loads of controls in my form, style 'sizable', which have a horribly complex set of anchoring settings (which took me ages to set up) so that the form resizes appropriately.

Now I want to add a menu bar to the top. I can't extend the size of the form downwards so that I can then select all the controls and move them all down a bit to give room at the top for the menu. Instead when I extend the size of the form downwards, all the controls resize and move.

Is there a quick way I can temporarily stop this from happening which won't kill all my anchoring (and control positions) settings but will allow me to resize the dialog to fit the menu in?

Thanks.
