Move Controls To The Outer Edges Of A Maximized Form?
Jun 2, 2012I have been working on a windows form over the last couple days and I have hit a brick wall when trying to move my controls.
I think I have basic understanding of anchoring and docking but I'm not getting the results I'm hoping for so I have attached some screen shots of what I'm trying to do.
It's not about re-sizing more about moving the controls to the outer edges when my form is maximized.

VS 2008 - MDI Child - Controls Move Up The Form At Runtime
Jul 29, 2009I have an MDI application which uses fixed sized forms. I've started to change the forms to sizeable and anchored the controls so they move when the form is resized. If the child form has a menu this jumps onto the parent menu (as it always has done) but all the controls move up the form at runtime and leave a space at the bottom of the child. If I change the form in design mode to cut through the bottom controls i.e. so the form doesn't appear tall enough, it corrects itself at runtime. Is there another workaround as it looks misleading in the designer.
View 3 RepliesMove Controls From One To Another?
Oct 26, 2009I had originally created an "Options" form that had all my different options checkboxes and settings. I am implementing a new layout for the UI and am wanting to move all the contents of the Options form to the main form without having to redo a bunch of code.
I know cutting and pasting will "break it", so I'm not sure how to do it with minimal effort. is this doable?
Move Controls Like Studio?
Sep 9, 2011I would like to learn how to move a control like the visual studio program. In the toolbox you have a list of all your controls (button, listbox etc....). They are labels and when you double click or drag on the label the associated control shows up on the form.
How can I do something like this in my application?
Move FlowPanelLayout Controls Via DragDrop
Apr 23, 2012I have a FlowPanelLayout that can contain several UserControls called DataGridViewFilterSortElement. These controls look kind of like buttons, but different. I want the user to be able to click one of the DataGridViewFilterSortElement controls and drag it to another position (index) in the FlowLayoutPanel. Is there a way to see the control physically moving as the user drags it to another position? In other words, is there a way to take a "snap shot" of the control that is being dragged (instead of a shadowed box) which would show the actual control moving as the cursor moves?
Also, as the control is being dragged I'd like to have the other controls position to shift automatically instead of waiting for the user to drop the drag to see the shifts. For example, let's say the FlowPanelLayout contains 3 controls and the user wants to drag the first control to the third controls position. So the user clicks and holds the first DataGridViewFilterSortElement, then drags over the second control, which causes the second control to shift to position 1 of 3, then the user drags over the third control, which causes the third control to shift to position 2 of 3, then the user drops the control in position 3.
Here is a short little video that shows what I want to do: Video Example
Private Sub lblDescription_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseDown, lblDescription.MouseDown
' if the user left clicks and holds the element begin a DragDrop action
If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
Me.DoDragDrop(Me, DragDropEffects.Move)
End If
End Sub

View 1 RepliesVS 2008 : How To Move Controls Within Tabs

View 6 RepliesAutomatically Move Controls On Window Resize?
Feb 25, 2011Is there any way in c# or VB to automatically move the controls in a panel when the window is resized. I do not want the Anchor property, which only resizes the control. THe use is that controls are added at runtime to the form, and when the locations/values are loaded on a computer with a larger monitor, they are in the incorrect positions.

Feb 24, 2011I've created a tab control and on one of the pages I added a button, but I cannot move the button around with the mouse!? I can change the buttons position within the tab control page using the property Location and I can size the button using the mouse and the button is NOT locked. I even tried creating a new project with just the tab control and it still does the same thing. I can, tho, move the button using the keyboard arrows!

Move To Specified Tab Index In Code Without Knowing Controls Name?
Jan 15, 2010I am trying to create a way to use my arrow keys to move around some text boxes. The form has 12 textboxes moving from left to right with 4 in each row. Tab Index will be like this.
0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11
In the code I have figured out how to find the current tab index but I am having trouble moving to the next control based on which arrow key is pressed. Here is the code I have so far.
Protected Overrides Function ProcessCmdKey(ByRef msg As System.Windows.Forms.Message, ByVal keyData As System.Windows.Forms.Keys) As Boolean
'This variable holds the current tab index for the control that has focus.

I commented the area where I haven't been able to figure out how to code it. I have spent a few days working this out and have spent the past 6 hours working on this part.

View 2 RepliesControls Not Return All The Child Controls For The Form?
Apr 15, 2010I have a slight problem With an enumaration of child controls on a form. The following code will not get but about have the controls that are on the form. The controls show that the count is correct but when it goes through the loop it skips over some of the controls. If you run it through the enumeration two or three times it will get all the controls a few at a time. The solution uses two forms, one that has the controls and the other that labels are made and displayed on. The Tx is just a index to add a number to the label.name and rename the label. So each label is identified seperately. This works for all the the controls that are seen in the for each loop.

OrderWindow.ShowDialog()
End Sub

I've tried putting MyBase.ShowDialog() and .Show() and .9000+ other things The only benefit I've got out of using a seperate thread to load from the databse is i can see the screen right away (as oppose to it being a transparent box until it loads) but i cannot move it around or minimize itis there any way to make it Movable while it loads?
