I want to have a text box which allows you to enter the size of a grid, like the width and height. I want the text box to have a comma in the center so you can put the width on the left of it and the height on the right. (width,height)
How can I add this comma in and make it so it can't be changed by the user and acts as a divider between the values of the width and height.
You can use a MaskedTextBox rather than a TextBox, this will let you set an input mask for the required input, however you may need to fix the number of digits.

On my report, all the fields have their fixed width and height and if the content is longer than the width, it automatically increases the height of field (like G3 on screenshot). But I want it looks like G2 on screenshot.
I turned off text wrap option, dynamic height to false. However it doesn't seem there's change.
Someone can help me please?
Select the cell and set the option Style -> size & position -> x-overflow to true. This allows text to exceed the horizontal limit of its cell.
When working with a muti-line UILabel object, is there a way to know at which position in the text the line wrapping will occur?
For example if the text of my label is 20 words, the display will be different according to the size of the box provided. I would like to know when (character position) the display is going to the next line.
Hi I have a button which will add a string in to a label. (this can be done multiple times.) As the user can add multiple strings with each one been a different length, is there anyway I can get it to find the length of the label and those around it so that it spaces out correctly?
Thanks
Label.Width will return the current width of the label control, but it sounds like you already know this. Since the label can be narrower than the text it is trying to display, you would need to measure the full text using the graphics object. This method will return the width of the text in a label:
Private Function getFullTextWidth(lbl As Label)
Using g As Graphics = Label1.CreateGraphics()
Return g.MeasureText(Label1.Text, Label1.Font).Width
End Using
End Function
Alternatively, you could just set the label's AutoSize property to true, and then just check the label's Width property after you set the Text.
Is it possible to anchor a control to another control?
Lets say i want my Button1 to keep its 4px distance from Textbox1 control without
using FlowLayoutTable control?
"Why would be this advantageous?" - one could ask
Well let's say you have a SplitContainer with a vertical splitter and you have Textboxes
in SplitContainer.Panel1 which are anchored to the left and right but their maximum size's
width is smaller than you allow to the SplitContainer.Panel1's width to have (maybe
because you want text to show up there or because additional padding or whatever,you name it)
Now let's say you also have a button next to Textbox1 and you dont want Textbox1 to be
overlapped by the Button1 because its extends to far.
If i want to have my textbox fill the SplitContainer.Panel1 in a fashion that it leaves space for
Button1 control while still both of them are anchored to the right how would i do it?
I extensively use TableLayoutPanels and FlowLayoutPanels to accomplish this. For you specific circumstance I would use a TableLayoutPanel with three columns and a row for each TextBox.
Column 1: Auto-width, contains Labels all with AutoSize = True.
Column 2: 100% width, contains TextBoxes all with Anchor = Left, Right.
Column 3: Auto-width, contains the Button in the appropriate row.
Next, I set all text boxes, except for the one next to the button, ColumnSpan = 2. Then just put the TableLayoutPanel in the SplitPanel and set Dock = Fill.
it will be a sequence in live which should be flow out from left and keep working lets the right side should be layout.
List item safty cares should be provided.
List item all things that use in this method should be provided and be check;
I have a report that I need to increase the size of the textbox base on the length of the text. There some formula to calculate the resulting lenght size?
You can either go for a Label with the AutoSize property set to True. Or if you want to stick to TextBox, you can make use of MeasureString method and get the width of the text from there. Use that width to set the width of TextBox.
