FlowLayoutPanel , why can't I remove the space between my controls?

Hi,
I want to make a toolbox form (like the one in Adobe Photoshop), so I would
like to put many buttons one beside the others (beside, over and under, just
like the toolbox in photoshop). I thought FlowLayoutPanel would be the thing
to go, but I can't remove the space between my buttons even if I put all
zeros (0) in margin and padding.

Is there something I'm missing? How can I remove this space (±8px between
buttons)

Thanks

You need to also check the Margin and Padding settings on the buttons
themselves and on the FlowLayoutPanel .

If you don't like te way layout is done you can create your own custom
layout manager.
