Center Button in PaneL

[=?Utf-8?B?c2lwcHl1Y29ubg==?=]

I have a usercontrol that has a panel as a band across the width of the user
control

When the usercontrol is diaplayed the button is not centered.
If I anchor the button to the panel Left/Top/Right the button get's streched
which I want to try to avoid.

Anyone have ideas on how to center the button in the panel not matter
the size of the panel??

Thanks

You can compute the position of the button during the Load event of your
control:

MyButton.Left = (MyPanel.ClientSize.Width-MyButton.Width)/2;

Turn off the Left and Right anchoring. Leave just the Top anchoring
and nothing else (or even clear all of the Anchor properties if you
like).

The button should remain centred in the panel.

Hi,

Is your Panel docked or anchored in the UserControl? I assume not.

Then, I assume you want the Button in the Panel to be not resized during
the Form resizing. For this requirement, you may take the advices of both
Bruce and Alberto. That is: you may cancel the using of Anchor property(so
that the Button's size will not stretch with the parent control resizing)
and calculate the center position of the Button in Form.Load event. This
should do what you want.

If we have misunderstood you, please feel free to feedback, thanks.
