Can't access panel.ClientRec tangle

Hi All,

I'm having trouble accessing the ClientRectangle property on a panel
control.

At design-time it says that ClientRectangle is not a member of the Panel
class, but when I look at the QuickWatch at run-time I can clearly see it is
part of the control parameters.

Am I missing something obvious? I'm running Visual Basic .NET v1.1.

I have no trouble accessing the ClientRectangle property. Can you
show some segment of code that shows the problem? Have you tried
casting to Control to get it:

Dim r As Rectangle = DirectCast(pane l1, Control).Client Rectangle

That sounds awfully strange.

Thanks, that seems to work fine.

As for a code snippet, all I do is add the panel to a form at design-time
then try to access that parameter from within the form code. ie.

MyFunction( Me.pnlMyPanel.C lientRectangle )

....and I get a 'ClientRectangl e' is not a member of class Panel... Very odd
because it is listed as a member in the MSDN library and when observed via
QuickWatch.

In any case it is working now and I really appreciate your suggestion.

How to center the Panel scroll bars?

Iâ€™m using the Panel control that contains a PictureBox control (for implementing the http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/PictureBox.asp). The Panel is set to AutoScroll = true. I wish to scroll the appearing vertical and horizontal scrolls bars of the Panel to the middle of their scrolling range so the contained PictureBox will be centered inside the Panel. But I could not find a way to get the scrolls bars for doing that.

Creating a Linear Gradient Panel

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: 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,...
