I have a label in panel. The width of text in the label is more than its container panel. Because of that the text in the label is not coming completely.
I have tried this.label1.Dock = DockStyle.Top; and this.label1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; but both aren't working. Is there any way to solve this problem?
The label is in a TableLayoutPanel which is in panel. And I want to show the text completely in the first row only. Making AutoSize true of panel is causing other data to move from their position. Which shouldn't happen.
When hosting controls in TableLayoutPanel, you can to set ColumnSpan for your controls.
Column spanning is often useful for positioning a control that is
considerably wider than its peers.
Select the LinkLabel at designer and in properties set ColumnSpan to 3. Also set AutoSize property of it to true:

I have a Form with 4 Controls. One panel, which contains 2 DataGridViews and 1 Label. First there is a datagridview, then the label and then the last datagridview. The Form has a specific size like 600x400. I also want that the first datagridview should have the exact height of all cell height + header cell height from the first datagridview. If its bigger than 400, there should be a scrollbar on the right. If the user scrolls down, he should the the label and the 2. DataGridView. If the Height is less than 400, maybe 300, then it should show already the label and a scrollbar on the right. How could I do that?
Thanks!
The Panel control has a property called "AutoScroll" that you can set to true (in the properties pane while you are in design mode.) This will handle showing and hiding the scrollbar based on the size of the child controls. Make sure that the panel has a fixed height, rather than using AutoSize.
If I am understanding correctly, you want the first DataGridView to size itself based on the size of its contents. To do that, just set AutoSize = true on the DataGridView and it will resize based on its contents.
If you want more specific help, you can post your code and what you have tried, and you may get a better answer.
I have a question about WinForm TableLayoutPanel control. For example, if I hide the control in the column. it will change the size.
Is there a way to not paint the control in a tablelayoutpanel with column autosize so that the column will still have the control size?
Using Control.Visible = false will make the column width 0.
I need something like hidden in WPF Grid.
You can place a Panel in the TLP and place the control on the panel. Set the panel's background color to the same as the TLP, and it will be invisible. Then hide the control but leave the panel.
This should work fine if your control is a fixed size. If the control size varies, it might be a bit more tricky to do this. You will need to vary the size of the Panel too. Setting it to AutoSize = true and AutoSizeMode = GrowOnly might work.
I have a windows form with two controls, one mail control (Dock = Fill) and a property control (Dock = Right). The property control is set to AutoScroll. It has some expandable panels and if the user expands too many panels the height of the control is larger than the window height and I set the AutoScroll property in order to automatically display scrollbars in this case - this does work. However the scrollbar is plotted over the property controls. The scrollbars of course needs some place but I would like the property window to grow in width as long as the scroll bar is shown (and hence reduce the size of the main control a bit) so that the scrollbar is on the right side of the property control which is completely shown.
Can you give me a hint? Do I need to change some properties of the controls? Or is there an Event "ScrollBarsShown" or something which I could catch and manually extend the width of the property control?
Thank you very much!
Put these controls in a TableLayoutPanel. The arrangement should be two columns, one row. Column0 would be set to 100%, while Column1 would be AutoSize. The Row could be either.
Then just dock fill the TableLayoutPanel in your form.
I have a tablelayoutpanel which I create programmatically. My problem is I have some textboxes which have columnspan value like that image:
I do not want to see cutted border lines as seen on second, third, fourth..rows. I tried that solution (Draw borders around some cells in a tablelayoutpanel) already but I do not know how to apply to my control, beacuse It draws very first cell border lines only.
Any Ideas?
Try placing your TextBox control inside a Panel with these settings:
panel1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
panel1.Margin = new Padding(0);
then just center your TextBox control inside of the panel.
The text of the label is written programmatically:
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
label.Text = data from database;
}
You could set the Dock property each of the controls. Depending on your layout you can set each of them to DockStyle.Left and set the AutoSize property of the label to true. If you can't dock them as is, you can put them inside of a panel and dock inside of the panel. When inside of the panel you can also take advantage of the Fill style of docking (which would also work outside of the panel, but depending on the rest of the controls in your layout it could screw them up. Inside of a panel you can set the label to DockStyle.Left and the TextBox to DockStyle.Fill (to take up the rest of the space)
Set the label's MaximumSize.Width property so it cannot overlap the TextBox. If you don't have enough space vertically then also set the MaximumSize.Height property. You then should also consider setting AutoEllipsis to True so that it is obvious to the user that the text got truncated, a tooltip shows the full text.
An easy way to determine the proper values for MaximumSize is to temporarily turn AutoSize off. Adjust the label size to the maximum size that doesn't overlap anything. Copy/paste the Size into AutoSize. Or leave it off.
