IDE - Set Up Controls Using Dock/anchor?
Apr 20, 2010I created a basic winform project where I want to handle all resizing without writing a single line of code. I set up controls using dock/anchor. They all work properly, until I add a custom UserControl. When I first press F5, the project works fine. However when I get back to the IDE some (but not all) controls which have anchor right/bottom are resized/moved into positions and sizes not previously defined. Some cannot even be restored as they are moved permanently below the container's boundary with coordinates above 2000. If I fiddle around and test the project many times, all controls with right/bottom anchoring will go haywire eventually.
If the custom UserControl has controls inside with right/bottom anchoring those also get resized in weird ways. Adding the controls again solves the problem temporarily. It is the IDE that moves these controls around since these movements are displayed in the undo stack right after I exit testing the project (however,undoing these steps only messes things up even more).I am using VB 2010 on Windows 7 x64.
Panel Control And Anchor Property?
Aug 10, 2009[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?
Anchor Property Not Working On Two Out Of A Group Of Objects
May 14, 2010I 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".

View 1 RepliesResizing Controls At Runtime Not Using Anchor Or Dock
Feb 14, 2012I 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.

VS 2008 Form And Controls Resize Using Anchor/Dock
Mar 7, 2010From this forum I saw some discussions about form/controls resizing issue with different resolution screen setting. Most suggestions are using Anchor/Dock. My application's form has 10 group boxes and some buttons. In each group box there are 5 Text boxes and other more controls. I tried anchor and dock but couldn't make it work. My questions are -
1, How to re-size form and all individual controls as well?
2, If anchor/Dock are suggested, do i have to use both of them or just one? it seems to me there is no big difference between them.
Interface And Graphics :: Dock Or Anchor Controls So That They Resize Themselves Accordingly When Form Is Resized
Feb 12, 2011we all know how to dock or anchor controls so that they resize themselves accordingly when a form is resized. It works fine till we have rows of controls on left and right size of the form. But what if have three columns (Columns as in visual sense. I'm not talking about any column control containing other controls) of controls? For example a form having a bunch of controls in the left side, a bunch in the middle and a bunch in the right. There may be a few more bunches in the middle. Now while resizing the form, I want the controls to resize accordingly as well as change their positions to make space for the previous bunch of controls that are resizing.I mean, while the user increases the form size horizontally, the controls of the second bunch should resize and at the same time they should move right because the controls of the first bunch are increasing horizontally too. When the user decreases the form size horizontally the same thing should occur in the reverse order.I can manage it somehow using nested splitcontainers but that's too cumbersome. I would like to know if there's some better way to achieve it, like setting some property etc.?

.net - Setting Anchor For "controls In A Panel" Inside A "flowlayoutpanel"
Apr 13, 2011In 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.

Changing A Specific Property For Several Controls At Once?
Apr 24, 2012Let's say I've got a TableLayoutPanel with 50 cells in it. Inside each cell is a separate text label. If I want to change the color of each of those 50 labels at run-time to the same color, is there an efficient way to do it? (so that I don't have to write 50 lines of LabelX.ForeColor = X, etc).
Not that I would mind writing 50 lines of code for this, but I would like to figure out the most efficient way to do this sort of thing, for future reference.
Property Editor For Array Of Controls
May 21, 2012If you have a Component (or Control) with a public property of type Control, then in the Properties Window you automatically get a drop down of all the controls on the same form as the component, which is very handy. If you want to do the same thing but with an array of controls then the Properties Window shows the ellipsis and you get the Collection Editor with the Add / Remove buttons creating and deleting an instance of Control (i.e. the base class used for deriving all the others) - not quite so handy.
How do I get a list of the controls on a form and be able to select more than one? I think I need to create a custom UITypeEditor? Assuming that's right then I think I need a dialog box (like the Font dialog) with Available and Selected ListBoxes with Add / Remove buttons and appropriate code to link the control array in the component to changes in the Selected list box? Along with an appropriate UITypeEditor derived class.
Assuming that's correct, how do you get a list of the controls on a form at design time? Can I do that form design as a Windows Form, just as normal, or is it all done by hand? I've seen some code that does it with a UserControl rather than a Form, presumably that's for when you want a 'pop-up' control (like the one for Color selection)?
Sql - Equivalent For Value-property For Controls In Winforms?
May 3, 2012I'm used to webdeveloping, and when I work with databases, I usually use some text for the Text-property of a radio button, and the row's ID as Value-property. This makes it very easy to save to databases.
Is the an equivalent in winforms for the Value-property, or will I have to identify rows based on the text in the control?

Preventing Controls Enable Property From Changing?
Mar 9, 2010I m implementing control based security in my application. where i m saving controlname (per form) in database, which are to be restricted. So far I have implemented the security and restricted control get disabled.
Now what i want to do is that i have to prevent that for those controls the "control.Enable" property should not change. how can i restrict that.
I have achieved the functionality by canceling enable=true property in "Invalidated" event of the control. but this is not some generic way. I have to map this event for all controls in all forms :(.
What i really want is that as all my froms are derived from same parent which implements the security. so the parent should some how restrict enable property from changing.
So,HOW CAN I PREVENT CONTROL enable property from changing in their parent class?

View 1 RepliesAnchor A Form In Panel?
Sep 18, 2011I 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?
