Set static control at the top of TableLayoutPanel

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 avoid Winform auto resize resulting in controls cropped?

I created a Form with fixed size, containing a fixed sized TableLayoutPanel. Controls are anchored to the TableLayoutPanel using the Anchor property. However controls are cropped after moving from Desktop to laptop.
I have tried setting MinimumSize, AutoSize and AutoSacling in Form and TableLayoutPanel, but controls are still cropped.
Suggestions?

You should try using Dock property of TableLayoutPanel.
Change its value to fill (Dock = Fill), this way your TableLayoutPanel will be drawn within the form border.
Another suggestion is, you should divide your main tablelayouttable like a grid and put one control inside its individual cell. Set their Dock property to Fill and you will see the result.
Hope it helps. Good Luck.

Stop DataGridView from flowing under panel?

Question
How can I stop my datagridview from moving underneath the panel when the window is resized?
Example
What I have tried? And what I would like.
I have tried to dock the datagridview to the top on the window, but it just docks under the panel.
I have tried docking both to the top and docking one to the top and the other to the bottom, however they both just take half the screen up.
What I would like is if the datagridview docked to the bottom of the panel.

You have to modify the Anchor property on your controls. Based on what you've provided, the DataGridView control is probably anchored Bottom, Right, and you should anchor it Top, Left to match what the panel control's anchor is.
Also, if you do want the grid to be anchored to the bottom, right, you can set the MinimumSize property of your form accordingly so that it can never be resized such that the controls "collide".
It's not possible without third-party controls to dock one control to another control.

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.
