Add Horizontal Scrollbar for Panel - vb.net

How i Can Add Horizontal scrollbar for panel , i tried to make AutoScroll property to True , but this just show the vertical Scrollbar.
what i want is when the client minimize the form a Horizontal Scrollbar appear so he can see all the controls in panel, I'm using form without borders.
Maximize `Form :
Minimize 'form':

Try setting programmatically the panel box properties:
panel.Autoscroll = True
panel.VerticalScroll.Visible = True
panel.HorizontalScroll.Visible = True
Try adjusting your panel size then don't adjust the size of width of each data inside of it. I suppose it is because the data is EXACTLY fitted on your panel box.

Try looking in the Panel properties. There you can see the AutoScroll property. The AutoScroll property:
Indicates whether scroll bars automatically appear when the control contents are larger than its visible area.
BUT, if your data inside the Panel is EXACT, horizontal scroll bar or vertical scrollbar will not appear in your Panel.

vb.net - Remove border around Progress-bar

How would i go about removing the thin border around the edges of the Progress-bar tool? There doesn't seem to be any properties to change the style. It looks like the default 3d border.
It is not the best solution from a programmatically correct point of view, but it works and is an easy solution.
You create a Panel control
You put the BorderStyle property of the Panel to None
You moove your Progress Bar inside the Panel control
You rezise the Panel and the Progress Bar so that dimension of the Progress Bar is a few pixels larger than the dimension of the Panel control. This way, when the controls are drawn, the borders of the Progress Bar do not show because they are outside of Panel control
You set the Anchors property of the Progress Bar to Left, Right, Top and Bottom so that when you rezise the Panel control, the Progress Bar inside resizes well.
You resize and place your Panel where you need it (and the Progress Bar will resize well into it)
And your done. As I said, it is not a nice solution from a programmation point of view, but overall it works well and allow you to do what you want without spending too much time.

I have a Winform and there are few controls in It, At Top there is a panel and inside it there is a label control with Dock Property Fill, I have to populate dynamic text into that label control, Sometimes text is so bigger that it cannot been seen,

You should set width of MaximumSize enough less than panel to only vertical scroll bar be visible.

WinForms SplitContainer and its spacing and resizing

I seem to have a lot of trouble getting a SplitContainer adjusted the way I like it. I have the following form called frmMain:
In the form Load code I have to following code:
With MainContainer
.IsSplitterFixed = True
.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
.SplitterDistance = 200
.FixedPanel = FixedPanel.Panel1
.Panel1.BackgroundImage = Resources.My.Resources.ResourceFile._001
.Panel2.BackColor = Color.White
.Panel2.AutoScroll = True
End With
When I run the code I get the following:
I want to remove the gray splitter since there is no use to it. Is this a common beauty
bug and is it possible to remove it?
My second problem with the SplitContainer is if I resize my window, the backgroundImage in Panel1 and the white color in Panel2 don't adjust with the window. I searched high and low to the Resize code but I can't find it. The Panel2 has User Controls, eg. Dashboard and are loaded this way: MainContainer.Panel2.Controls.Add(Dashboard).
Is it also possible that Panel2 automatically adjusts to the weidht of the window so thay you only have a hortizontal scrollbar?
Thank you for reading my question and hopefully you can help me solve my problems with the SplitContainer. Have a nice day.

If you don't want the user to see or move the splitter, why use a split container? As an alternative, consider using a TableLayoutPanel configured with 1 row and 2 columns. The first column would be an absolute 200 px wide while the second column would be set to 100% wide. In each of the two cells, you could place a panel which is docked and set to have a margin of 0,0,0,0.

While I did not mock up your current solution, I was not able to replicate these problems with a quick mock up of the solution I proposed above. With regards to auto-scrolling, the only reason that scroll bars should appear would be if a control is off the edge of the screen or the available screen space is less than the minimum size of the panel.
You have 2 options:
Use TableLayoutPanel (as #erdomke suggests)
Use 2 Panel controls
For 2 panel controls, dock panel1 to Left, and dock panel2 to Fill. To fill panel2 with a UserControl that resizes, set it's Dock property also to Fill.

dockstyle fill panel slides behind top/bottom docked panel

I have a form. It has a panel docked to the top and a panel docked to the bottom. The remainder of the form is a panel in the middle. I want it to expand to fill the remainder of my form so I set the dockstyle to FILL for this center panel. When I do this visually nothing jumps around but my resizing adorners move upward/downward behind my top and bottom docked panels. Now my resize adorners are the same size as the base form.
What am I doing wrong? My middle panel acts like it does not understand there is a boundary that is established by the top and bottom docked panels on the form. It just extends right past where I believe it should stop.
Try clicking on the middle panel that is getting overlapped by the other panels to select it, then right-click it and select Bring To Front from the context menu to fix the issue.
I recommend that you use a TableLayoutPanel, with one column and three rows. Set the Anchor property for all your panels to LEFT+RIGHT+TOP+BOTTOM, then set the row heights as you want. Fixed for the top and bottom, and "100%" for the middle.

ScrollBar Max Size VB.NET

How do you set the maximum range for the horizontal and vertical scrollbar in a panel
in VB.NET 2008 ?
Set the AutoScroll property for the Panel to True. That ensures that the Panel automatically adjusts the scrollbars to keep all controls inside the panel viewable. You can override this behavior, in case you don't use controls or want a margin on the far end, by setting the AutoScrollMinSize property.
