I encountered this a while ago and wasn't able to get docking working in a FlowLayoutPanel . That said, I was able to make my own layout on a panel and accomplish docking.

Have a look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=vs.80%29.aspx

This shows you how to create your own panel and override the LayoutEngine property to return a new custom layout that you create. The custom layout is a class that inherits from LayoutEngine. In the custom layout you override the Layout method and this is where you set up your control locations.

This example gives you a simple flow layout and you can modify it so that items will lock to the edges of the parent control.

If FlowLayoutPanel's AutoScroll is set to true, there appears a scroll bar on the right. Normally, users would expect the contents is scrolled while they are dragging the scroll bar. Well, it does, but not when the Windows's "Show window contents while dragging" is disabled. Almost all the Windows' common coltrols scrolls the contents while dragging even if that option is disabled. So, I think FlowLayoutPanel should behave like other...

Hi all, I have a problem regarding use of a usercontrol in .NET. My usercontrol consists of two listviews which I say as source and destination lisviews which contains the files and folders. I select files from source view and transfer it to the destination view.The problem arises while displaying the dialog for overwriting the file or folder if it is present on the other side.

I had placed three controls on a UserControl and had them all perfectly docked together filling up the UserControl. I needed to add a fourth controls docked to the top. So I dropped it on the UserControl, changed the new control to Dock = top and changed the taborder of all the other controls (bumped each up by 1) . But when I start changing the other controls back to dock = left, fill, etc... they expand the entire height of the form...

Is there an upper limit on what FlowLayoutPanel will display? I wrote a test that adds 395 buttons to a flowlayoutpanel and it stopped displaying them after button 310, cutting 310 in half. It allocated enough room in the frame. There's just no button visible after button 310. This is not a frivolous question as I'm using flowlayoutpanel for a photoview layout in a home inventory program. Any help would be much appreciated.

My application consists of basically a treeview on the left side, along with a panel control that takes up the right side. When nodes are clicked on the left, the data on the right side of the panel is changed based on that type. What I'm using are usercontrols, so I can do the visual design of them in a separate window. when the node is clicked, I assign the parent of the usercontrol to the panel control that is on the right side of...

I have a usercontrol written in C# that exposes a public property of type double. This control is used in a program written in VB.net. If I set the value to 66.6667, it stays fine, I can break into the usercontrol code at various events that can change the values and it's still 66.6667. However, if I iterate over the controls (they're in a FlowLayoutPanel) in the vb code to get the values in question, they're rounded off to one...

Beat you to it! :0) I would really appreciate if anyone could take a look at this and tell me what the magic trick is to make this work. All I want is to have the child...

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

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
