How do you create a table in winforms where individual cells can look like this:
I have been using a tablelayoutpanel, but it only lets you but one control per cell. Any ideas?
The only way to emulate this is to use nested tablelayoutpanels.
To get your desired output in the example:
TableLayout1: 1 Row, 2 Columns
TableLayout2 goes within column2 of TableLayout1: 3 Rows, 1 Column
There is ALWAYS a way to get it to work. It may not be obvious from the WinForms designer, but it is not too hard.
Try this:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
partial class Form_1:Form
{
public Form_1()
{
InitializeComponent();

I have a groupbox which I created a custom paint event for so that I
can control the border color.
It works great when the groupbox is on a form but when the groupbox is
on a tabpage, the control does not paint properly. Everything is blurry
and the child controls inside the groupbox are also blurry and get a border
drawn.
Any gentle help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan

You can see my custom control overflows form size.
Note: Flow layout panel used in the picture has a dock fill, flow direction = top down & wrap contents = false.
Can anyone please suggest?
Using the custom label class from this page for the message label inside panel as suggested by #Reza Aghaei did the job. See the result below, this is exactly what I wanted.
I am implementing a winform application in c# so that it contains four picture boxes and some control buttons in one corner.
My main problem is that I cannot achieve the behaviour shown in the picture. The idea is to automatically resize the picture boxes when the form is resized. The area of the control panel should stay the same and only the area containing the boxes should be resized accordingly.
I have been playing with anchor and dock properties but I dont get the desire output.
Anyone could give me a hint?
Thanks and kind regards,
Bilbinight
So, let's say you have the following picture boxes:
pictureBox1 | pictureBox2 | panel
------------|------------
pictureBox3 | pictureBox4
Then the following should do the trick:
set the forms Resize event to this eventhandler:
private void Form1_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int spaceBetweenPictures = 19;
int widthToFill = (this.Width - 40 - panel.Width) - spaceBetweenPictures;
int heightToFill = this.Height - 80;
pictureBox1.Width = widthToFill / 2;
pictureBox1.Height = heightToFill / 2;
// Setting the sizes of all the three pictureboxes to the sizes of the first one.
pictureBox2.Width = pictureBox1.Width;
pictureBox2.Height = pictureBox1.Height;
pictureBox3.Width = pictureBox1.Width;
pictureBox3.Height = pictureBox1.Height;
pictureBox4.Width = pictureBox1.Width;
pictureBox4.Height = pictureBox1.Height;
// Setting the positions:
pictureBox2.Location = new Point(pictureBox1.Width + spaceBetweenPictures, pictureBox1.Location.Y);
pictureBox3.Location = new Point(pictureBox1.Location.X, pictureBox1.Height + spaceBetweenPictures);
pictureBox4.Location = new Point(pictureBox2.Location.X, pictureBox3.Location.Y);
}
Of course you should modify the magic numbers in this code (19, 40, 80) accordingly, to suit your program (that depends a lot on whether you use border on your form or not).
UPDATE:
If you want your pictureboxes square shaped then just ignore the heightToFill variable and use widthToFill instead when setting the Height of pictureBox1. Or set:
pictureBox1.Height = pictureBox.Width;
And I also forgot to mention that the panel of course should be aligned Top, Right. So set the panel's Anchor property to:
AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Right;
Are four image boxes supposed to support resizing at runtime (allowing end user to resize)? if not then following will give you desired result.
1 TableLayoutPanel with 2 rows and two columns. Set the initial size to fill the desired area, set the anchor to all four directions.
Add 4 picture boxes to 4 cells and set Dock to Fill for all Picture Boxes.
Add a panel to the right side of form, and make it fit to cover your controls area. Set the anchor Top, Bottom, Right.

I'm not 100% sure how I should word this question but I'll try my best.
I have a PointCtrlForm that has a DataGridView inside a TableLayoutPanel. The DataGridView is docked to the table as Fill. PointCtrlForm is docked to another window set as MDIParent with the dockstyle property set as Fill.
Resizing the main window properly resizes the PointCtrlForm, which then is supposed to resize the DataGridView as well. Well, at least "half" of the resizing works properly. Enlarging the main window also enlarges the datagridview, which is what I expected but if I shrink the main window to a certain point, the DataGridView stops shrinking and hides the columns without showing a scrollbar.
I've checked that all columns do not have Frozen property enabled, checked that both the datagridview and the child window is properly docked, and checked the scrollbars property is set to both.
Edit: AutoSizeColumnsMode is also fill.
I'll post the content of the Designer.cs here. I'd appreciate any guidance.

I've found the solution and it's rather simple.
The row and column sizes for the DGV has to be set "percentage (relative)" not "absolute" in order for the docking to work properly.
You can edit the sizes by right clicking on one of the cells of the DGV and clicking on Edit Row/Column Properties.
I have a TableLayoutPanel to which I add rows dynamically.
Each row has an absolute size.
I set the AutoScroll to "true", but when I add rows that go out of the display of the TableLayoutPanel, I don't see the scroll.
This is the designer code:
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
partial class Form1
{
/// <summary>

Button b = new Button();

}
Does anybody know what's going on?
thanks :)
Set the AutoScroll property to True.
Make sure that the default rows that get added by the designer do not cause any trouble. Make your constructor look like this:
public Form1() {
InitializeComponent();
tableLayoutPanel1.RowCount = 0;
tableLayoutPanel1.RowStyles.Clear();
tableLayoutPanel1.AutoScroll = true;
}
Looks like you're missing tableLayoutPanel.AutoSize = true.
Try the below line which may work for you:
this.tableLayoutPanel1.AutoScroll = true;
this.tableLayoutPanel1.Dock = DockStyle.Top;
