TableLayoutPanel cell border style with columnspan - c#

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.

Are there any ways to align a textbox vertically middle within a panel?

I have a panel, i want to align it vertically middle within a panel, the pic shows what i want
Any one know how to do that?
Align a control in parent vertically:
InsidePanel.Location = new Point(
0, (OutsidePanel.Height - InsidePanel.Height) / 2
);
Align a control in parent horizontally:
InsidePanel.Location = new Point(
(OutsidePanel.Width - InsidePanel.Width) / 2, 0
);
If you do have form resizing, you will need to make sure this is added to you resize event handler to make sure the controls stay centered.
You can use a TableLayoutPanel control.
Drag a TableLayoutPanel onto your form
Set the Dock property to Fill
Remove one of the columns from the Columns collection because by default you will get 2 columns.
Add one more Row to your panel because by default you will get 2.
Then:
Put the textbox into the second row.
Set the Dock property to Fill
Set the sizes for the rows for the TableLayoutPanel as shown in the following screenshot:

Use opacity on a panel and label in Visual Studio Windows Forms, C#?

I'm trying to use opacity on a panel and a label using WinForms with C#, i been able to change panel opacity, in this way panel opacity allows the PictureBox content behind the panel can be seen, i use the following answer, the problem is i need to place a label above the panel, and i need the label background looks like the panel opacity, if the label Backgroud color is "Transparent", it looks white, and if i try to use the same method i use with the panel, on the label, it does not look the same, it is any way the panel background and the label background look with the same opacity?
Actually, it looks like this:

The panel is the one it looks like white, docked to the bottom, above it's the big Label, that's the one with "Transparent" color background, and the smallest label, it's the one i try to do with this method
Very grateful for any help you can give me
This is how i add the label to the panel
Label newLabel = new Label();
newLabel.Text = "DISHONORED";
newLabel.Location = new Point(100,100);
newLabel.BackColor = Color.Transparent;
panel3.Controls.Add(newLabel);

Label Text not displayed due to less width of its container

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:

How to reserve space in Win Form TableLayoutPanel control

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.

Make UserControl resize when Dock = Fill

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.
