I'm using the RadLayoutControl control from Telerik UI for Winforms.
As familiarized users will know, if the user press right-click on the blank space of the layout at runtime, it will appear this button:
Then this panel:
What I would like to know is, which is the method that I need to call to make appear that customization panel at any time?.
radLayoutControl1.ShowCustomizeDialog();

Does anyone know how I can manipulate the objects in this form? I would really like to be able to edit some of the tabs. It's using DevExpress v14.1
To edit the tabs, just click the tab control and use the design time helper icon on the tab controls upper right corner. There, you can find a link called "Tab pages".
Alternatively you can just select the tab control by clicking and head over to the properties window (press F4) as you can do with every control. There, you find a property called TabPages.
If you want to edit the controls on the tabs, just do so by selecting them per mouse click and change the controls' properties on the properties window (press F4).
The issue was that DevExpress wasn't installed on my system and thus wouldn't let me modify the elements. Simply installing the right version fixed the issue.
I have a user control that contains multiple controls (CheckBox, Button, Label...).
I want to change the layout of this user control to support right to left languages but i can't find how to do it.
Currently i can change the controls alignement using the RightToLeft property. But how can i change their positions?
Thank you for your time.
Thank you guys for your answers but there is a better way to do it.
First we go to the user control properties and select the language property.
After changing it to another language a new resource file will be created for the user control.
After that, using the designer we can change the controls positions in the user control as we like.
The new values will be saved in the created resource file.
When the language has changed, the corresponding resource file will be loaded and the positions will be changed.
If the language is a right to left one, don't forget to specify the right to left property for the controls.
Hope this helps.
Use the layout controls with the RightToLeft property and follow the following links for implementation:

User control mirroring is not supported for user controls, see this connect article: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/121202/usercontrol-mirroring-is-not-inherited-from-the-form
Their suggested workaround is to use a table layout panel which will mirror the controls in right to left.
i want a code snippet for dragging controls and dropping them to a Panel and placing them back...as needed.how can i get the controls property same as used in vs,i am using vs2010 and c# web application.i want the functionality to be as in as when we design a form.pls help..
Create the control in a projetct with add to solution --> user control or component
Add the control to the toolbox via the Context Menu-->choose Items and select your control (do not forget to compile once finished ;-) )
All public properties will be available to edit in VS, there are also some attributes to control acces to the properties (but I can't remember them now).

I want to have buttons that kind of act like tabs - they switch between "pages" of the application. How can I achieve this effect? I'm thinking that I could just put the controls in some kind of container and toggle the visible attribute, but is that plausible?
I am using WinForms.
The reason I don't want to use a tab control is because some of the panels already have tab controls in them..I don't want to create a nested tab hell. I just want some kind of spiffy button based navigation.
You could "attach" button functionality to Panels, then use the panels as the "tabs". You could even create a UserControl that inherently ties them together.
However, a TabControl (for Winforms) already exists that does this. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.tabcontrol.aspx
If you're looking for something for ASP.Net 2.0 and above, you could try the following: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/custom-controls/TabControl.aspx
I think the best option is to use this WinForms TabStrip control -- a subclass of ToolStrip where the buttons are drawn as tabs, and you simply treat them as such programmatically by switching which panel is shown in your container as tabs are selected.
I am attempting to create my own custom Autocomplete style dropdown control in c# .net2.0. For speed of development I have built my control as a UserControl but have hit on an issue of doing it this way.
When the custom drawn dropdown gets drawn I have to resize the UserControl area to be able to display the list of options.
Ideally I want to be able to mimic the drodpown list behaviour in that the list of options is drawn 'floating' and is not constrained by the UserControls height and width (nor even the parent forms boundaries). A tooltip is another example of the unconstrained 'floating' that I desire.
The only way I can think of achieving this is to create on the fly a new form with no border or title bar and display this when the popup is required.
Is there a better (but also quick) way of doing this?
TIA
You would need to use a Form or NativeWindow to allow the control to float correctly. To make a form follow the control is easy enough but it is more difficult to implement and handle all of the focusing/hiding issues especially if you need seamless tabbing/key navigation.
You can try creating a control that is based off the ToolStrip Drop Down Button control. I believe that this control has the functionality that you are looking for. I found this reference for creating controls based off the ToolStrip, you might try starting with this.
