[URL]..I cannot seem to get a regular panel control to anchor Left/Top/Right while place in a FlowLayoutPanel which is docked to a Form. It defaults to a Left/Top position and I cannot seem to get it to anchor to the Right as well either by code or by manual input in the Properties window.
Does this imply that there is an issue with my VS Studio 2008 Express?
I am trying to Anchor a Form (Top, Bottom, Left & Right) in a panel.
I have tried:
frmFnct.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Top Or AnchorStyles.Left Or AnchorStyles.Bottom Or AnchorStyles.Right
This doesn't error but as the parent Form is re-sized, the panel re-sizes but the Form that is loaded in the Panel does not re-size.
I guess I can use the Parent Forms Resize Event and size the form to the panel dimensions but just wondering if there is a way to use built in functionality?
Why does a Panel control have a Font property? What does it affect? Any controls added to the panel will have their own Font property that controls their appearance, so I don't see the point of the panel control having a Font property, especially since it has no text property.

View 8 RepliesI have a form with a series of basic objects,, a list box a few buttons, a few text boxes and a few labels..
Anchor property works just fine on all of them except one text box and one label. The property is clearly SET on both objects and I can't, for the love of me, figure out what is making these two act "disobediently".
It is possible to anchor 1 control with other control instead of container. I mean suppose i want to maintain fix distance between 2 controls during resizing form.

I have the above code sniplet. I am trying to bind the anchor within the literal to a function in a following manner:
onserverclick = "Download"
But the event is not firing. The requirement is that anchor is rendered through literal only.
Has any one experienced this. Never seen it before. Anchoring a Toolstrip Left,Top,Right will resize the strip with out the option of stepping back and undoing it. Forces rolling back the application. Toolstrip is docked at the bottom.

In my windows application I have a normal panel inside a flowlayoutpanel In this normal panel, i have some input controls(e.g. labels, textbox...) I have set the anchor properties thinking that it will auto-resize when I resize the window. But when i tested it, only the flowlayoutpanel auto-resize itself, as i can see that the sroll bar has moved further toward the right... the contorls in the normal panel didnt move at all.
View 1 RepliesIs 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 lets 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?
View 1 RepliesI use drag'n'drop from a datagridview to a panel. The panel holds an array of objects (think rows) so that the items from the datagridview can be dragged to the different objects. I use the y-index from the top of the panel to define what object the item is dragged onto.This works great as long as the object is visible from the start. However, if I scroll down to an object and then drag the item from the dgv, it gets released on the wrong object, as the y-index doesn't take into account the number of pixels I scrolled down. So, what I need is (if it exists) the scroll offset property for the panel, i.e., the number of pixels that I scrolled down. (Then I can add this offset integer to the y coordinate on which the user drops his/her object.)
View 5 RepliesI am stumped on this one. I have a panel (pnlKeyPad) that won't change the visible property when I try to set it to True. But when I try to set the Dock Property to DockStyle.Fill it succeeds. I have tried them in different orders, setting the parent property to the splitpanel and nothing seems to fix it. The panel is on a splitpanel that is visible. The panel is set to visible = false by default.
Any ideas of why this panel won't switch to visible when I specifically set it to visible?[code]...
I use lots of panels to hide controls and display groups of controls.
If sender Is BDVActive Or sender Is BDVCompleted Then
BDVCases.Visible = True
BDVCases.BringToFront()

I'm trying to make a label control transparent over a Panel control.However by setting the background colour of the label to Transparent, it actually sees right through to the form itself, not the panel as intended.
As an example we use a panel with a background as white, we make the label transparent, however it gets the form�s colour as blue.However, we are using a custom panel control and need the label to be transparent over the panel and not see the forms background.
I've got a Panel on a main Form containing a PictureBox control on Top of a TableLayout control. Both the child controls have their docking properties set to Top. The Picture control has sizemode set to Zoom.
What I'm finding is that the picture doesn't size properly when I start the app. There is a border at the top and bottom in the PictureBox control. It's only when I resize the overall form that it's correct.
So at the moment I've got this ugly bit of startup code, just to fix the problem Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
What am I missing?
is it possible to make it so that you can use a button control to initate a drag movemnt of a panel control, that way you can click it move your mouse and when you click your mouse it will move the panel to what ever location you moved and clicked your mouse?

I have a page that is based on a Master Page. The page has AJAX contolled tabs and on one tab I have 2 panels, each with 1 button. Only 1 panel is visible at a time. I am trying to get the button on the visible panel to be the DefaultButton so that when Enter is pressed the click event is fired off. The issue that I am having is that I get this error no matter what I try: The DefaultButton of 'form1' must be the ID of a control of type IButtonControl.I have tried setting the Default Button property of the panel to the buttons client id and to its unique id.

View 2 Repliesi frequently have troubles with the dock property. it seems that either the order of creation or adding to the parent control determines whether or not a control's dock property supersedes another's. e.g. a control with the dockstyle fill will overlap with another docked control on the same parent. does anyone know what the rules are to determine how docking will behave; particularly in dynamically created GUIs?
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to bind the text property of a control to an expression? I have a user control that I add to a FlowLayoutPanel. You can see I have 4 controls in the FlowLayoutPanel below. The first control is a LinkLabel and the other three are my user controls which are numbered 1, 2, & 3. I'd like to bind the label that shows the 1, 2, or 3 to the user controls index within the FlowLayoutPanel.
If I happen to remove the 2nd user control I want the 3rd user control to now display 2. I could use the FlowLayoutPanel ControlAdded or ControlRemoved events, but wanted to see if I could do some binding first.
If I need access to the value of a user control's property BEFORE PreRender, would I need to base the custom control off of one of the preexisting data controls (repeater, listview,etc.)?One of my user controls features a gridview control that is configured based on the user control's properties on which it resides. Several of the key properties alter the SQL Statement for the underlying recordsource. I'm now in a situation where the property that sets the WHERE statement for the SQL Statement needs to tied to a value in the user control's parent FormView. Think of the formview as displaying a customer detail record. The user control takes the customer's account number and then displays data from a related table such as Customer Contact Names. Since the gridview is created before the control's prerender event, working within the prerender event doesn't seem efficient.
