Is there a default layout manager to allow user to choose layout at runtime?

[S John Philip]

Need to display a set of images in a form. The layout should be user selectable similar to MS WORD 2007+ - Table Insert funcionality. The user should be able to choose the rows and columns during runtime. Is there a default layout manager to support this functionality? If not, would appreciate a few pointers on how this could be achieved.

Thanks,

John

I think what you're looking for is the TableLayoutPanel, if you're working in WinForms. I don't know what you'd use in WPF, probably a Grid.

Thanks, the FlowLayoutPanel serves my requirement well. A related question: If you have noticed, in Word 2007, Insert Table allows the user to choose rows/columns from a grid of small boxes rather than type in values for rows/columns. How can i achieve the same functionality?

I'm not sure what you mean, I don't use Microsoft Word. Could you perhaps take a screenshot of that particular feature in Word and attach it to your post?

I think I know what you're talking about. There's no built in control for that, you'll have to design one yourself. Fortunately, it shouldn't be terribly difficult.

Look into creating a UserControl. You can handle drawing in the Paint Event and you can use the mouse events to handle the input.

Hmmm, or you could just check this out :)
