Hey, how do I use the anchor property?
I have it set to Top, Left, but when I expand the form, it doesn't grow with
it... What am I missing?
Thanks,

I'm not quite sure what your talking about, can you be more specific.

CJ,
The anchor property will keep the control anchored to that side.
Hence setting Anchor to Top & Left will keep the controll fixed to the Top &
Left side. It will not grow as you need to anchor the control to opposite
sides to make it grow.
If you set Anchor to Top, Left & Right, the control will grow as the form
gets wider, but not grow any higher.
Setting Anchor to Top, Left, Right, and Bottom, the control will grow in
both width & height.
The Dock property set to Fill, will effectively causes the control to be
anchored to the edges with no space between the control & the edge.
Hope this helps
Jay

You may want to set it to 'Right' and 'Bottom' too...

If you set the window size to maximum size so that it would expand to
the size of the screen the controls tend to move without any

some or most of them to appear correctly, but say you have to list

Hi,
I am trying to reference an anchor in a user control with a url. This
worked in 1.1 but no longer works in 2.0.
The ascx control is located in a "/include" folder
If you have a hyperlink control and you assign the navigateurl property =
"../#anchor" whereby you want to add this # reference to the current url the
url ends up with the #anchor twice.

Hi,
Is there an event that fires when the back or forward button on a

back or forward button after an anchor has been set.
Thanks so much for reading about my problem!

I am trying to create a simple mdi app with a form anchored down the
left of the main form. In this "menu button" form I will have various
buttons etc. (i.e. similar to lots of websites)
However i cannot seem to achieve this. I have created an mdi parent,
created another form and set its MdiParent property to the parent. In
the parents load() function i am doing this:
// Init the MenuBar
MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();

The list below has the current section number, proposed anchor name, and
then the current title of that section. Some make sense, some don't.
There are a few that don't have proposed anchor names yet as I couldn't
come up with a decent anchor name. Some anchor names are duplicated
(#ajax is one), where the idea would be to combine those entries into
one entry.
Any proposed anchor name changes, thoughts, or ideas are welcome.

Hi all -- I have two questions.
First, I'm adding a control to my form at runtime and the control/form
seems to ignore the anchor property of the runtime control. Any idea
how I can get a runtime control to anchor properly?
Second -- the program I'm writting is supposed to look like a dos
application (long story). When the application is "Normal" aka a
small window then everything looks great. But when I resize the
window to...
