Here is the picture to show the left panel is docked to left while the main panel is docked to Fill, but the left panel is overlapping the main panel
Any one know how to solve this problem?
You need to make sure there are on same level, play a little bit with:
Right Click on the control -> Send to Back or Bring to Front
options.
To give a bit more explanation:
If one of your panel is Dock to Left and the other to Bottom, but those are not on same level (Left panel is above Bottom one) Left panel will never force Bottom panel to move, as Bottom panel can use whole space, as on it's level there is nothing docked to Left it that makes sense.
Situation change if those two panels are on same level, then they respect each others docking.
In your scenario, you want to push your left hand side panel to back, so it is on same level with Main panel, and then act same way with the Bottom one, as needed.
I hope that helps.
The order in which the panels are created is causing this.
You can change this order with the document outline.
Set one panel higher in the list than the other, play with it until you get the desired result. Than close this window. In my case I also have to restart visual studio now since this view somehow makes visual studio very slow.
I have done the same thing but for me the two panels are not overlapping.
Let me tell you the steps I followed.
I took one panel from toolbox. Then made a copy of same panel by click and drag. I then changed their color two red and yellow respectively to differentiate between them. Then for red panel i set dock to left and for yellow panel I set dock to fill. Below is the screenshot for the same.

Mock-up
I am creating a WinForms application which is supposed to have three main vertical panels. The middle one (B) is narrow and centered. It is not to change in width, only in height as the form is resized, and it is always to stay in the horizontal center. The left (A) and right (C) panels are to resize to fill the rest of the available space.
I have tried the various docking and resizing options. But I haven't yet found the combination that will allow the left and right panels to fill the spaces on either side of the middle panel (which is to remain the same width.)
I'm still hoping that there is something that I'm missing, otherwise I will have to go the route of manual calculating the sizes and locations of the panels on the resizing event.
Even if I manually get B to remain in the center, I don't know of a way to get left and right to resize automatically without either covering or going behind the center panel.
Add the TableLayoutPanel to your Form and set its Dock property to Fill. Now edit the Rows/Columns. Remove the second row so there is only one row. Setup the Columns so they look like this:
Change the Absolute value of 50 to whatever width you want the middle to be.
The two Percent values can be anything, as long as they are the same number.
Now add the three Panels to each column and set the Dock property of each Panel to Fill.
Done.
Here's the result in action:
I have a navigation panel on the left hand side of my program and I'd like it to always stay where it is when scrolling the window content. Is there a way to do that?
I've thought about trying to do a get/set for its position but there's only a size property.
In the example above, the information in the top left is in a panel. Is there a way to keep it anchored there as the user scrolls down?
You currently appear to have the Autoscroll option enabled on the Form. Set that to false, then set up two panels, one for the toolbar/navigation and the other for the scrollable content.
Set the toolbar panel to be anchored to Top, Bottom, Left. Set the content panel to be anchored to all four sides. Set both panels to Autoscroll=True, then put the content in each panel. When each panel gets too small to contain their contents they will scroll - independently - which will in most cases mean that the toolbar/navigation will stay put while the content will be scrollable. If the toolbar panel also gets too small then it will be scrollable too:
I'm building a Windows Forma Application UI in Visual Studio 2017 in C#. I have a button ("Replace") and a label ("Search Results") that are inside a pane. I have panel anchored to "Top, Left, Right" and the two controls at "Top, Right". What I want the two controls to do is to move with the main window form if it's expanded or shrunken to a different size but stop once they hit the left wall of the panel. As I have it right now, the two controls hide within the panel and disappear if the window is shrinks to a small enough size. How can I get the controls to stop moving to the left once they reach the left wall of the panel??
Thanks to Hans Passant, I was able to fix it by setting a minimum size to the control. You just click on the panel control, go to the properties and set a minimum size value. I had to go pretty high, so I thought (450,40), so keep trying different sizes until you can get the controls within that panel to not disappear under the panel or keep forever moving left when the window is shrinking to the left.
Modify the forms OnResize
//To center
MyControl.Location = new Point(Panel1.Width / 2 - MyControl.Width / 2, MyControl.Location.X);
//To left
MyControl.Location = new Point(0, MyControl.Location.X);
//To right
MyControl.Location = new Point(Panel1.Width - MyControl.Width, MyControl.Location.X);
In winforms I am trying to setup 4 panels docked: top, left, right and middle. But when I dock the top and try to dock another panel on the left, that left panel overlays the top panel..Am I doing something wrong there? is there another way of docking several panels?
You may need to be careful to not drop the panels into any of the other panels before selecting their docking property, or they will assume that the panel they were dropped into is their parent.
I created the setup you see below by simply using 4 panels, each one dropped individually and then assigned the correct docking attribute. I made sure when I dropped them to drop them in space that was currently not used by any existing panels.
I'd assume this is what you are after, correct?

I made MDI and things are working well.
But I want to use mainform a panel which is splitted. In splitted panel 2. I can see my form numbers in tabbar but cann't see my form. It appears under panel. how can i see it above/ on panel.
reagrds,
First off, if you're going to ask questions on SO, you need to mark an answer for each one as correct. You've currently asked 11 questions and haven't marked any of them as having a correct answer.

As for you question: If I understand what you're trying to do, what you want to use is a regular panel. Drop it onto your MDI window surface, and set it to dock left. Make it as wide as you want. Now, when you show a child window, it will fill/occupy the space in the right hand side of the MDI window, and will not appear under the panel on the left.
If you want, you can make the panel on the left resizeable as follows:
Drop a panel onto the MDI form
Set it to dock left and size it appropriately
Drop a splitter control into the right side of the MDI window (the dark grey background, not on the panel)
The splitter will appear to the right of the panel, and your MDI windows will dock to the right and be resizeable

Instead of a SplitContainerControl, use a Splitter control.
MDI forms are a parented to the MDI child window. The dark gray background of the MDI parent. If you put a panel on the parent, you'll overlap that child window. And thus overlap the forms as well.
The only fix for this is to set the Dock property of the panel. Say to the left. That makes the MDI child window resize itself to occupy the remaining space of the parent form. The panel now no longer overlap the MDI forms and they in turn won't overlap the panel.
