Controls overlap

Hello,

I place in a web application some controls: labels, text boxes, buttons.
Labels tend to overlap the text boxes if the text is long and the text box
is not placed far enough from the label.
Is there a good method to determine where to place the controls so
that they do not overlap? Can I program the layout, determining the
length of a label, so that I can move the text box after the label's right
end?

Also to avoid overlapping of labels when text size of the web page is
changed?

Thanks

Hey Dan

Rather use flowlayout when creating web apps. This will allow the controls
etc to scale and resize with the browser. Right click on the web form to
view the property.

Hi, friends, This drove me nuts: I had two web user controls: header.ascx and copyright.ascx. I planed to put them on each .aspx pages: Header on the top, and Copyright at the bottom. However, I could NOT place them in the correct positions of the .aspx pages. The header.ascx, copyright.ascx, and contents of .aspx kept OVERLAP each other. For example, in the following .aspx, the two web user controls

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
