Dock A Control Inside A Panel At Runtime On Windows Forms?
Jul 27, 2009
I am designing a simple user interface using winforms. In the designer I have a panel on the form and would like to add a datagridview control into the panel at runtime and set the dock property of the datagridview to 'Fill' so that it fills the panel.
I am struggling to do this and following code is not working out for me:
Dim MyDataGridview as New DataGridView()
MyDataGridView.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
Me.MyPanel.Controls.Add(MyDataGridview)
I don't get an error but the datagridview isn't visible. It gets added 'behind' the panel and so I tried using .SendToBack() and .BringToFront() methods thinking that the panel was hiding the datagridview but this doesn't seem to work either. At any rate, it seems like the datagridview is being added to the form but just not docked within the panel

This should probably be a different topic, but the reason I was cutting/pasting is that I have a split panel form. I dock a toolstrip to the top of one panel, and then add a datagridview control. I set it to dock to parent, and it does, but goes under the toolstrip, hiding the top of the grid and scrollbar. Not acceptable of course. Is there a setting that I'm missing?

I downloaded the custom made OvalShape control for Visual Studio 2005, and I really like it. One problem I have, is that I would like to have a label docked inside the Oval, as if it was a Panel or a GroupBox or pretty much any other control. With the other controls it does this automatically when I move the control inside them, but when I move the label inside the Oval, it won't "stick" to it. The OvalShape will move around and change size quite a lot in my app, so it would be nice ot to have to add a snippet of code after every movement of the OvalShape.

I know how to dock a component using the windows forms designer as well as through code but I am having a problem with one thing. I am trying to dock a richtextbox on a panel through code but it seems to be filling up all of the space instead of just the panel. When I put it on the form and dock it works fine. The code I am using is:

When I want to create a new panel at run time when I clicked a radio button it displays an exception at panel2.location.
Dim panel2 As Panel
Private Sub RadioButton5_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadioButton5.CheckedChanged
panel2.Visible = True
panel2.Location = New Point(200, 300)
panel2.Size = New Size(200, 300)
Me.Controls.Add(panel2)

not quite sure why this is happening but I am just debugging right now and the buttons I am using are opening the wrong forms, I have made sure of the form names, button names etc and it looks all good but specifically the btnPrintReport is opening up the form enterAuditForm while btnProcessAudit is opening printAuditForm instead of their correct ones.
Here's my code, it is rather simple. The reason why I am using a separate sub as my btnPrintReport is because I am using that also on the baseForm's OnLoad Event, which again is also opening the wrong form.

I have a question about getting control inside of a panel to appear Here's what I am trying to do:I have 2 database maintenance screens done with both details and grid.
Customer
Inventory
I have all the Customer table data on 1 panel control (pnlCustomer) that has textbox and datagridview controls. The visible property is set to True because this is the first UI that I want to appear when the form loads Next I created another panel for the Inventory data (pnlInventory) and I added contols to that in detail and datagrid views. I placed the Inventory panel directly on top of the Customer panel. The visible properly is set to False My intentions are that when the employee selects the Inventory button that the Customer panel will hide() and the Inventory panel will show().
I have tried a number of things but they do not work. What happens is that when the Inventory button is selected the Customer panel and all it's controls will actually hide but the Inventory panel will not appear. If it is opening, then there are no controls visible...and I checked to make sure that the property of all controls in the Inventory panel are set to Visible = true
Here is what I have tried:
' on form load
pnlCustomer.Visible = True ... also tried .show()
pnlInventory.Visible - False ... also tried .hide()

how to add controls in panel control runtime. I mean, I want to add group box at runtime. When I click on my button, it should add a group box in my panel and when I click again, it should move the first group box down and add the second. Every group box should have a label control in it.

If I have a panel with a handful of controls in it, and I want to create a click event for anytime that the user clicks on any controls that are NOT inside that particular panel, how would I do it? In other words, if there was an event called "ClickSomethingElse", that would be perfect. Any way to accomplish something like this? I realize that I could create individual click events for each of the controls outside of the panel, but there are a LOT of controls outside of the panel, so I was just wondering if there is a more efficient way to do this.

I have custom collapsible panel control. I put it into a FlowLayoutPanel. he FlowLayoutPanel is docked within my form. The Panel Anchor property is set to Left/Top. The purpose of the anchor is so that if I want to put multiple panels in the FlowLAyout Panel, they will all stay snuggly together when they are expanding and collapsing. The panels work fine.

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.

This is a task panel made from 3 others open source code that I combined. It already has some docking ability, hiding ability, resizing and moving but there are some problems it wont dock top and bottom without getting confused with left and right. When 1 panel docks another panel will dock on the side of it not the parent container. It needs some kind of splitter container to be able to dock into if you have 2 panels or more docked on the same side but still being able to drag out of it and move somewhere else. So who wants a challenge here is the link to all the files [URL]

I have a DataGridView in one of my form which at a certain point I resize an change it's position. I would like to be able to restore it to the designer's default position at runtime. I know I could save it before changing and then restoring it later, but I feel like there surely is a way in .NET to just restore a control position to it's default.

I have a code method that I wrote in vb6 that works on every screensize and resolution combo...however vb.net is not letting me do this. Here is what I do. upon form load at program startup I gather all of the data of the controls (height,width,top,left,font
size) prior to the form actually resizing and I store those in a listbox that is not visible. Then when the form resize is called I proportion all of the controls from their old positions versus the new form size.

I have a TopBar, A LeftBar, A VScrollBar, A HScrollBar and a Panel inside a SplitContainer Panel.The issue I'm having is that when my SplitContainer Panel is small enough to enable one of the ScrollBars, I will slide the ScrollBar and then when I resize the Split Panel, my Panel1 is staying where I scrolled it too.I'm having troubles thinking of the correct code to fix this.

I'm doing a research/project at school and I'm baffled with some problems. I already integrated some features of speech recognition using the Speech Recognition Object Library and using some Speech Recognition Library Scripts. Now the problem is I'm having trouble on how to add the whole speech recognition control panel on my form. (if not the whole control panel some features of it like adding new profile and training.) I'm using windows 7 ultimate edition and visual studio 2008 professional.

i 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?

When adding the items the VB code is
Dim m As New ContextMenu()

I have a customer which as a Visual Basic Project in single instance mode with a wired presentation logic.
The main form contains a TabControl with mutliple TabPages.If I click on TabPageA another form is shown in front of the Form and resized to have the same size as the TabPage.
If I click on TabPageB the first form is hidden and another form is displayed.So basically for the user it looks like you have a TabControl with different TabPages which is not the case.
I tried converting the Forms to UserControls and put them inside the TabPage, but, thanks to the SingleInstance app, this would take a whole lot of refactoring. I tried it but eventually gave up because of many many runtime errors and I don't want to put any more effort in this.

I use VB. NET 2008. I'm starting to work with the Tab Control and command will want to know about techniques such as adding tabs at runtime using this control.
To illustrate what I'm saying, just take one checked on your browser or in the VB (Start Page, when we add other forms to our project).

But why can't I figure out how to get one of any number of created WebBrowser controls to navigate to a website?I have a FORM a BUTTON and TWO TEXTBOX controls at design time. I run the program and it creates a random number of WEBBROWSER controls named WebBrowser1 to WebBrowser whatever.textbox1.text = a number, 1 - max number of created webbrowsers, determined in whatever way it is. but what if textbox1.text could equal 35, or 1, or whatever. HOW DO I REFERENCE IT'S ASSOCIATED WEBBROWSER CONTROL?!?!?I've spent a few hours researching this and I find page after page on creating controls, but I can't change the data of a control determined at run time, and I can't find how to anywhere.

Public Class cInherits : Inherits Panel
I get this: Base class 'System.Windows.Forms.Panel' specified for class 'MenuButton' cannot be different from the base class 'System.Windows.Forms.UserControl' of one of its other partial types.
How do I inherit?
