FlowLayoutPanel control reordering

Hi there,

I am trying to implement drag and drop reordering of controls that are
placed in a FlowLayoutPanel control but unfortunately as the control
collection doesn't have an "insert" method I am having to use the
SetChildIndex method, which has some rather adverse side effects which can
lead to 2 items having the same index.

Would anyone know of another way to implement this functionality? For
such a great control this is really letting it down!

Hi there,

Not to worry, it appears to have been my wrong. I was not aware that
the controls order is it's Z order so I was acquiring the wrong index to
start with, I should have been using GetChildIndex rather than IndexOf.

Cheers anyway.

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...

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. ...
