I'm trying to use a TableLayoutPanel to align a few controls on a form next to their labels like so:
Label1 [combobox ]
LongerLabel [longer combobox]
But when I run the project and grab the right hand side of the form and shrink the form, the combobox doesn't resize, it gets cut off... Now, I were to not use the TableLayoutPanel, but just anchor a combobox to a form's edges, it will resize properly. What am I doing wrong with the TableLayoutPanel?
I found the answer here:
http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive/DotNet/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms.controls/2006-12/msg00209.html
So I set the first column with the label to autosize (I have the label fill docked in the cell and the text alignment set to middle left). Then dock fill the combobox in the second column. Then, set the second column's size type to 100%, NOT autosize. I don't know why it works, but it does.

I have a textbox that I write info to that automatically creates a scroll bar when the screen is filled, and I'd like to scroll to the bottom of it. It seems like what I need to do is set the scrollbar Offset to some vector, but my problem is finding the ScrollViewer.
I can't use FindControl because it's not named anywhere in the xaml, and I can only change a few values using textbox.SetValue
The only way to scroll a TextBox currently is to set the CaretPosition. For example to scroll to the end of the text you could use:
textbox.CaretIndex = int.MaxValue;
For me it works only when I set textbox.CaretIndex to the length of the text. Assuming that property Logs (string type) is binded to textbox I used this
textbox.CaretIndex = Logs.Length
I have used CheckedListBox control in vb.net application.
I have several items as follow, item 1, item 2, item 3........item 100.
Now, i want all these items to arrange into three columns and then appear verticle scrollbar.
But, in CheckedListBox, it appears as horizontally. i want it to appear horizontally for just three columns and then vertical scroll should enable.
Can you please suggest if possible in CheckedListBox control or any other control and if possible then how i would have to set its property to achieve this.
I don't think you can do that in a CheckedListBox....
You could create a FlowLayoutPanel, with a fixed width and add AutoScroll = True.
Then add a number of CheckBox controls to it.
You could have problems regarding column alignment and margins. If that's the case, you can set the checkbox Autosize = False and make them a little larger (in order to contain the text)
Or you can reduce the Height of the checkboxes to reduce spaces (is this what you want?)
eg. Height = 15
Use repeat direction =horizontal and repeat column =3 for checkbox list
I have content of 50-60 words in label and it goes beyond my groupbox where I put it, so I need to wrap it so it can be accommodate within groupbox.
Just Set the AutoSize property of the label to False, then reposition then label to the size you need
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;
In my form I have an AXVS Flex Grid and a Textbox. Firstly the textbox will not be visible.
When the focus is on a particular column of the flexgrid, the textbox will be visible and the Flex Grid will be disabled. The position of the text box will be at the bottom of the particular row at the first time.
But when another row is inserted, then I need to change the position of the textbox to the bottom of the new row and so on.
How can I do that? Thanks in advance.
Position of a control can be retrieved and set using the Top & Left properties of the control.
So you can get the Top,Left property of the inserted row and set the Top,Left property of TextBox accrodingly.
e.g.
TextBox1.Top = InsertedRow.Top +=10
TextBox1.Left = InsertedRow.Left
This will bring the textbox below inserted row.
