This works properly:
1. Create a new Form and set it's size to 229, 474.
2. Drag a Panel to the form and set the following properties:
Size = 216, 438
Location = 3,1
Anchor = Top, Bottom
3. Add a PictureBox control to the top of the panel and set the following
properties:
Size = 210, 56
Location = 3,2
Anchor = Top, Left
and then stick a image into the PictureBox
4. Add a LinkLabel control to the bottom of the panel and set the following
properties:
Text = "LinkLabel Test"
Size = 126,13
Location = 52, 413
Anchor = Bottom, Left
Run the program and try resizing the form. You'll notice as you make the
form wider, the panel stays centered inside the form and if you expand the
form vertically the link label will move up and down properly. So everything
is working as it should.
Now, I am creating a User Control which I just copied the above Panel to the
UserControl and adding it to the Form like this:
Dim c As New UserControl1
Me.Controls.Add (c)
and run the program. You'll notice the anchoring no longer works and as you
expand the form, the UserControl stays stationary in the top left corner of
the form.
How do I get the UserControl to behave just like the Panel being added to
the form?
This has been very frusturating for me over the past few days since I have
tried setting the anchor programatically when creating the control and adding
it to the form like this:
Dim c As New UserControl1
c.Anchor = AnchorStyle.Top And AnchorStyle.Bot tom
Me.Controls.Add (c)
That just causes the UserControl to center itself on the Form and the Panel
inside the UserControl ignores the anchors set.
What am I doing wrong?
Please help!

c.Anchor = AnchorStyle.Top And AnchorStyle.Bot tom
Try: c.Anchor = AnchorStyle.Top OR AnchorStyle.Bot tom

Josip,
You be the man! That worked!
It was just the syntax all along, geez.

How do I get my UserControl to resize itself properly after I remove it from
the form and then add it again.
If I resize form and add the UserControl it appears in the upper left hand
corner and looses it's anchor capabilities.

I have a webform that I have a datagrid on that I want a button at the
bottom of the grid to maintain its position with the datagrid, if the grid
grows large then button needs to move down with it, and if it is smaller it
needs to move up. Everything regarding anchoring that I have found is with
Windows Forms, is there any way to do this with a Web Form?

Hi!
I have a window form that contains 4 elements (2x2) on one panel.
Those 4 elements are GroupBoxes of the exact same size, sorted like this:
groupBox1 groupBox2
groupBox3 groupBox4
While resizing a Form window manually, I would like to resize
automatically each groupBox by keeping the same ratio:
Width of each groupBox = 50% of Panel-width

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,...
