I have a button docked in a Windows Form TabControl. I want it to be docked to the bottom right corner while keeping my defined size. The default docking styles are Left, Right, Top, Bottom or Fill.
How can I set the button to be a custom size, while keeping it docked to the bottom right corner?
You need to take a look at the Anchor Property instead of Dock.

using windows forms-visual basic 2013, I designed form with 2 panels left panel contain some buttons and right panel act as a drawing area for user.
user can add some labels, drag and drop them any location on panel and
when user drag label out of panel bounders (right or down) scroll bar shown.
Now
I need to add feature to use mouse wheel to zoom in and out this panel only with its content.
or just use button to zoom this panel to fit on screen (form) and reset it to original size
I tried some docking and dock styles but it not working as it should and I don't need to use table panel (user can arrange labels in any location on panel)
I have a VB.NET form that dynamically creates a set of controls. If there are too many controls to view on the form, the form will show a scroll bar. (It is an autoscroll form.)
The user can scroll down and click a button which causes the form to change dramatically. It destroys all controls and draws new ones based on user input.
I've noticed that if the user is scrolled to the bottom of the form and click the button, when I destroy and create new controls they aren't located where I want them. It seems to put them relative to the visible portion of the form rather than the top of the top.
Example:
checkbox1.top = 50
checkbox1.left = 15
If the scrollbar is all the way at the bottom, the checkbox should be placed above the visible part of the form. Instead, it is drawn 50 pixels from the top of what I can see.
Please help. How do I make it place the control at an absolute location, rather than being relative to the current position of the scrollbar?
You have to compensate for the scroll position of the container control.
If a panel, then it would look like this:
checkbox1.Top = Panel1.AutoScrollPosition.Y + 50
Alternatively, you could just use a FlowLayoutPanel control, which would handle the placement of the controls for you.
When user clicks on the scroll bar arrow, the content shifts very slow(horizontal offset changes on 16). How can I increase the speed of shifting when I click on arrows?
(SmallChange doesn't work)
Unfortunately, it's quite hard-coded in the scroll viewer.
The only way I know of, is to make a new panel based on the panel that you want to use in the scroll viewer, and implement IScrollInfo for it.
Then, setting this panel as the content of the scroll viewer and setting CanContentScroll to true.
StackPanel implements IScrollInfo but other panels do not.
I have a borderless form that I'm "docking" onto the top edge of my screen. Inside of the form, I'm placing a single toolstrip control, which docks across the entire form -> (picture the taskbar to get an idea of what I'm talking about).
Because the borderless form has no edge to it, I wanted to draw a black line along the bottom edg` of the form to differentiate the form from the windows or desktop behind it.
The problem that I'm facing is that`the toolstrip will not move "behind" the line when it's docked, no matter how I order the control layers.
I've tried programatically sending the control to back to no avail either.
Any ideas on how to get the line to show above the docked toolstrip?
Dock another control to the top that displays like a black line (e.g. a Label with a black background and a height of 1). Insert your ToolStrip after you have docked the Label. It will dock just below the Label.
I have a Windows Forms VB.NET application, with a panel that contains a few other controls.
I set the panel's AutoScroll property to True, and that seems to appropriately apply the scroll bars when they are needed. The issue is that a user must scroll all the way to the right to access the vertical scroll bar. Is there a way to always show the vertical scrollbar no matter where the user is scrolled horizontally?
EDIT
I guess the main problem I have here is that I have a DataGridView inside of a panel. I want the panel to do the vertical scrolling, and not the DataGridView. Why is it when I turn off vertical scrollbars on the datagridview and have autoscroll on the panel, a vertical scroll bar is never shown?
You could add a VScrollBar on the right side of the panel and set code behind to move the panel scroll up and down.
or
A better option may be to switch your panel to a FlowLayoutPanel which provides quite a bit of control over the scroll handles both vertical and horizontal.
