For a winForm I'm building, I'm working with a TableLayoutPanel which has an arbitrary number of Textboxes and two buttons to add or remove boxes, + and -. The + and - buttons appear directly below the Textbox to which the user has given focus like so:

In my application i need to move rows and columns in tablelayout panel at runtime.like how to we are doing at designtime.
View 3 RepliesI want to create a 2-high, 6-wide grid with labels in the top row and text boxes in the bottom row. Creating the six labels and the six text boxes is easy. Main Question: How do I stuff them into the TableLayoutPanel at the locations I want?I assume that I write the labels as I would any other label, and read and write the text boxes as I would any other text box.Secondary question: Why do all Microsoft's examples do stuff I never need to do, and never do the simple stuff I need to do?

View 2 RepliesI have a class here that is misbehaving, and I can't understand why.Basically, when resizing to make this Form smaller, the buttons begin to extend outside of the TableLayoutPanel that contains them. This is not ideal.This is not an issue about resizing, my project does not allow resizing the main form, the problem occurs on my form before any resizing takes place; I simply demonstrate that the problem gets worse when resizing here as additional information.
View 5 RepliesI'm using a TableLayoutPanel and I want to get the control at a specific position in the TableLayoutPanel. I want to iterate over the rows and columns of TableLayoutPanel but this question applies equally if I just wanted a single control at a specific row and column.Unfortunately GetControlFromPosition(int column, int row) only retrieves controls that are visible (that is their Visible property is set to True). This is no good to me as sometimes I want to access a control at a specific position that is not visible and then make it visible.
I have had to resort to iterating over the TableLayoutPanel.Controls collection, and then get the position of each control using GetPositionFromControl(Control control) or GetCellPosition(Control control) until I find the position I want.(I'm not sure of the difference between GetPositionFromControl and GetCellPosition methods as MS documentation is meagre, but I'll ask that question separately).
I am dynamically displaying some controls in a TableLayoutPanel. The problem I'm faced with is that I want the controls to be displayed in a specific order, instead of just filling the TableLayoutPanel from 0,0 till the end of the panel.
I have 5 columns and 5 rows.
1st row is for buttons only, 2nd row for combobox, 3rd row for radio button.
I want it to be displayed like this:
Button1 Button2 Button3
Combobox1 Combobox2
RadioButton1 RadioButton2 RadioButton3 RadioButton4 RadioButton5

When I add a control to a TLP in design mode several new properties get added to the control, such as ColumnSpan, RowSpan, etc, which can then be set in the properties window. If I add a control to a TLP in code these properties don't seem to be available. how to set these properties in code if it's even possible?
View 2 Repliesi want insert a text into tablelayoutpanel cells..present i am inserting with the help of labels i am placing into cells..but it takes more time..so i decided to any other way to do this one.
View 4 RepliesI have a bunch of controls loaded into the same row/column in a TableLayoutPanel. I only have one at controls visible property set to TRUE at a given time. I want to be able to loop through the controls that specific row/column position in the TableLayoutPanel and test for a condition (control type) and then set this control's property to TRUE and all others to FALSE. Bascially I am turning controls on/off.
I know can loop through an entire TableLayoutPanel like this:
For each control in TableLAyoutPanel.Controls
Next
How do I restrict this loop to a specific row/column in the TableLayoutPAnel? Can you qualify where specifically you want to look in the container control?

View 3 RepliesI am attempting to move all controls on a form down or up by the height of a menubar depending on whether it is visible or not. I have code which I think ought to work well for this, however it seems that Me.Controls is empty at runtime, so my for each loop is never entered. Could someone please offer a suggestion as to how I can move the controls?

View 6 RepliesI have setup some base forms with some bottons on it The buttons are situated in a panel.Both the panel and the buttons modifer properties have been set up as "Friend".The problem I have is when I inherit these base forms, the buttons seem to jump around by themselves allot
View 6 RepliesI know this is probably not going to be simple, I tried searching around, but couldn't find anything. I am using some code to 'draw' text in a custom format to a panel with a custom bitmapped region (custom shape).Here is the code that writes the text inside a specified area:
g = LeftControlPanelV2.Panel1.CreateGraphics
Using fnt As New Font(New FontFamily("Arial"), 9, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Point)
Dim sf As StringFormat = StringFormat.GenericDefault
sf.Trimming = StringTrimming.EllipsisWord
[code]....
Obviously the text is not really located on the panel, but looks like it as it's drawn on top of the panel. So, when the panel or form that the panel is attached to moves, I lose the text. I though I could just call back to writing the text when the panel/form arrives at the correct place, while clunky, it works to a degree. I was hoping there was a better way of doing this, so that the text doesn't disappear when moving controls and I don't have to make repeated calls to the same drawing text over and over and over...
Edit: Should probably add that there will be 5 different panels each with their own custom drawn text, and all 5 need to move at the same time...
I am using NI Measurement studio and VS 2008.I want to move visual displays around when program is running. To simplify the problem it is similar to [code] I get an error telling me it will not acept assignment.Am I doing it wrong. How do you modify this propertythe button property behaves the same as LED1 in NI so lets focus on Changing (Button1.Location. Whatever ...)
View 1 RepliesI have a lot of forms set up, probably about 10-15 so far (more to come). Some forms 'lay' on top of other forms, and each form contains multiple controls. I am discovering that my approach is not very likely to succeed in what I am thinking of doing.
Here is one example: LeftControlPanel form contains 5 controls, but 5 other forms 'lay' on top of it and use transparencies to load up bitmaps. Since I cannot parent the forms that 'lay' on top of the form, I cannot figure out a good way to move them.Is it logical that when I move LeftControlPanel to a different x location, I would just move all the forms that 'lay' on top of them as well?Seems like a clunky approach of moving one form since parenting the transparency forms will remove all the transparencies that are set up...
Is there a bit better logic I might be missing, or bite the bullet and start moving multiple forms at once?
I am working on a project that I want to allow the user to move and resize controls in a panel container at runtime, much like the developer can do in the IDE.Is there a mode (not sure its the right term) I can implement on a selected control that will show the grab handles and allow moving and such?
View 6 RepliesI'm working on a .Net Windows application. All the controls arrange fine, but when the user specifies their Windows display text to be larger than the Windows 7 default of 'Smaller', the controls get moved around on the form and makes it unusable.
Is there a way to lock down those controls no matter what the display text setting is at?
I could review that could help me create a designer view (actually similar to how Visual Studio works but more basic), I would like to be able to add controls dynamically (just panels or images), then move those around individually(drag and drop), then count them all and get an array of what I have added..[code]But I would like to get an idea how it looks if things get more complicated..I wonder, are we able to use the classes of Visual Studio's editor in some way? Or are there .NEt classses that can do this?
View 2 RepliesAt design time in the IDE, you can ctrl-click or drag a box around multiple controls on a form and move them all at once. How do you do that at runtime. I need to be able to create image maps based on textual copies of medical claim forms that are generated from different systems and the ability to create dynamic label controls and move a single or multiple controls and resize is required. How does MS do this in the IDE?
View 7 RepliesI have a winform with a main panel that is anchored top, left; dock: fill, and set to a specific size to contain another panel of content that we want to scroll through. The other panel along with a few other controls are on the main panel. Now, for some reason, after running the application the controls will be shifted down (never horizontally) some random amount. Now, the "random amount" may in fact be the last position of the scroll bar or something, but either way, it is unintended functionality. I have resorted to automatically resetting the locations of these controls on the main form in the constructor?
