Set static control at the top of TableLayoutPanel - c#

I have a TableLayoutPanel and inside it, I want to add FlowLayoutPanel
So I added it and it works, but now I want to know how can I make that FlowLayoutPanel static at the top of TableLayoutPanel because when I scroll TableLayoutPanel the FlowLayoutPanel just disappear because is at the top of the list. Is it possible to set static control inside a TableLayoutPanel?

I don't know if there is a way adding frozen row to TableLayoutPanel. But you can make this:
Don't add FlowLayoutPanel on that TableLayoutPanel. Instead, use another TableLayoutPanel with 2 rows and 1 column. Add FlowLayoutPanel to the top of the new TableLayoutPanel and add your actual TableLayoutPanel to 2nd row with autoscroll enabled. At the image: the blue one is outer TableLayoutPanel, the black one is FlowLayoutPanel and the gray one is inner TableLayoutPanel. I set Margins as 5 to show all objects, you can set Margins as 0.

How to set FlowLayoutPanel contents at Center of Form

I have a few Button controls in a FlowLayoutPanel, and I want to set them precisely at middle bottom of Form.
In the image below I set the Button precisely at middle by setting the FlowLayoutPanel padding manually by 400 to left.
But when I try to resize or restore down the buttons wont at middle anymore because of manually set of padding.
Is there anything that I can do to set the buttons in middle of FlowLayoutPanel whenever I try to resize it. I'm following the answer base on
this post to add and remove buttons dynamically.
Using a single cell TableLayoutPanel which is suitable for centering the content and an auto-size FlowLayoutPanel you can achieve what you are looking for:
Perform these settings on the controls:
Add your images to a FlowLayoutPanel
Set AutoSize of FlowLayoutPanel to true
Set AutoSizeMode of FlowLayoutPanel to GrowAndShrink
Set Anchor property of FlowLayoutPanel to Top, Bottom
Use a TableLayoutPanel for hosting the FlowLayoutPanel
Use a single Column and a single Row in TableLayoutPanel.
Set Dock property of TableLayoutPanel to Bottom.
This way, when you add or remove images dynamically, all images will be shown at bottom center of the form.

DataGridView - Proportional Sizing

I have a WinForm project with a tab control container and several tabs. On 1 tab, I have 2 grids, one on top of the other. The grids stretch all the way across the form when fully maximized or when floating (minimized but not hidden). That part works exactly how I want it to.
However, I want the grids to size proportionally on the vertical axis. I cant find a way to set a % for the height of the grid. Is there some other trick to achieving this? Any tips on what property or combination that I might need to set or investigate? Sorry, I know not much to go on, but any help would be appreciated.
Follow below steps, it will work fine.
Place tablelayoutpanel control in tabcontrol.
Set rows and columns for tablelayoutpanel using the "Edit Rows/Columns"
If you have 2 datagridviews only in this tabcontrol, then set row count 1,column count 1.
Set column1 with Percentage 100 ,row1 with 50%, row2 with 50%
Set tablelayoutpanel dock property to fill.
drag and drop datagridview1 to tablelayoutpanel row1 and set the dock property to fill.
drag and drop datagridview2 to tablelayoutpanel row2 and set the dock property to fill.

C# tablelayoutpanel panel control

I have a tablelayoutpanel divided in 4 columns and 4 rows. by using Panel box = new Panel(); I filled in all 4x4 tablelayout panel with panels. now I have to delete in example a Panel which is in 2 collumn and 3 row. how do I do that?
There are a few ways to do it, but try this one;
tableLayoutPanel.Controls.Remove(tableLayoutPanel1.GetControlFromPosition(col, row));
This is assuming you're just trying to remove the panels (As they would be child controls to the tableLayoutPanel).
Otherwise you could remove directly by passing the actual panel you want to remove through the method;
tableLayoutPanel.Controls.Remove(panelYouWantToRemove);

winforms adjust controls to push up vertically when others are invisible

I've create a c# winforms form,
It has a bunch of labels positioned and a flowlayoutpanel.
on certain occasions i set one of the labels and the flowlayoutpanel to visible =false.
As a result i want all labels beneath them to be pushed up - at the moment there is a gap where they were.
Also, I'd like the flowlayoutpanel to grow and shrink depending on the number of items it has.
at the moment it is just the size i set it to be in the designer.
please can you help with these 2 issues.
Thanks
If I got you correctly, I would suggest using a TableLayoutPane with two rows. The top row will contain a docked panel with all the controls that may be hidden. The bottom row will contain a docked panel with all the rest.
Set the top row's SizeType to AutoSize and the bottom row's to 100%.
When you want to hide the controls, set the top panel's Visible property to false. Now, because the top row is AutoSized it will shrink to nothing, causing the bottom row to "jump" up.
The TableLayoutPanel does the pushing. Maybe you can use that if there is no better answer in next time.
First problem:
You may use some simple panels to divide your form, give them the dock.fill property. when you'll hide a panel programmatically, the other panels will fill the empty space left.
Second problem:
You have to set the Autosize property to true.

How can I add a bunch of labels to a C# form and then scroll the form vertically?

I have a form in C# (WinForm). It looks like this:
(LOGO)
blank space for labels that I add
through code (I can fit 10 labels in
this space)
(close button)
The blank space can hold about 10 labels.
I am stumped on how I would make this form scrollable if I want to add 20 labels? If I add 20 labels via code, then the 11th label will overlap with my close button and the 12th+ label(s) will run off the end of the form.
How do I make just the blank space portion of my form scrollable where I am creating the labels? I don't want to use a listbox.
Thanks.
You should try using either a TableLayoutPanel or a FlowLayoutPanel as a container for your Label controls.
A TableLayoutPanel will allow you a finer level of control over where your labels are positioned. Like an HTML table, you specify the exact cell position (using row and column coordinates) of each control.
By contrast, a FlowLayoutPanel will handle the positioning of its contents automatically, either in a vertical or horizontal layout configuration. The positioning is determined by the order in which you add the controls, allowing you to achieve a dynamic layout with a minimal amount of fuss.
Either will allow you to add your label controls to it at run-time and size itself appropriately. In order for layout panel to be scrollable, make sure that you set its AutoScroll property to "True".
Maybe a FlowLayoutPanel with AutoScroll set to true and FlowDirection set to TopDown.
Place all controls inside a panel and use scrollbar control.
Understand .NET Scrollbars
You could use a FlowLayoutPanel.
Add as many labels you need and enable AutoScroll on the FlowLayoutPanel.
