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 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 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 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 want to auto resize my windows form controls on fullscreen. I use tableLayoutPanel and anchoring.
But it's not pleasing to the eyes. I used flowLayoutPanel, but it doesn't work. I have around 35 controlrs on one single form, including labels, textboxes, comboboxex, radiobuttons, datagridview and checkbox.
Is there any other method by which I can resize the controls? And if not, can anybody suggest me a way to use the tableLayoutPanel and anchoring more effectively?
It seems to me that what you want to use is the Dock property of all controls as well as using TableLayoutPanel. From the images you provided it looks like you want want the top half of the form to be a TableLayoutPanel, and to set the Dock Property to DockStyles.Fill. Then set the bottom ListView to DockStyles.Bottom.
You can either dock each control in a TableLayoutPanel cell or set the Anchor properties to AnchorStyles.None to make the controls automatically be centered in the cells.
I have a problem with UserControl that I'm crafting. It consists of TableLayoutPanel with another TableLayoutPanel in it with ListView inside. I want to make it resizable so that it will fit in left panel of my app and behave somewhat like Toolbox in Visual Studio. The problem is that my control doesn't scale when I resize panel.
UserControl is embedded in panel with Dock = Fill and Anchor = Tob, Left, Bottom, Right. Also all controls in it are made that way. How can I fix this?
EDIT: It's WinForms, not XAML.
Use a split panel and put your UserControl in the left panel and Dock.Fill it.
You're probably looking for the AutoSize properties on the TableLayoutPanel and the AutoSize ColumnType of that panel.
You can achieve something like a Dock = Fill by simply auto-sizing the table layout panel (GrowAndShrink) so that it will always fit your inner control.
Please post your designer code to see how you embedded the controls in which other control.
I suspect your resize problem come from your resizing strategy of control inside the TableLayoutPanel.
The table layout panel is tricky. Regarding the resize strategy you want to follow inside a cell of the table panel, the control in the cell have either to be Dock.Fill or Anchor = Top, Left, Bottom, Right.
Basically:
Il you want the grid cell to adapt to the size of the control, then have the control in the cell Anchor = Top, Left, Bottom, Right and set the row/column to autosize.
If you want the control in the cell to adapt to the cell size, use Dock.Fill on it and use a percentage or a absolute value to size your cell.
The behavior of the TableLayoutPanel is best described in the MSDN documentation.
