I have a WinForm with a Panel and I keep adding Labels to it. Is it possible to set the Panel so that everytime I add a label it will have a certain layout ? The layout I am looking for is having a single column of Labels, so everytime I add a new Label it will be added to the next row. I haven't found any property for the Panel to do that. Is this possible ?
Use FlowLayoutPanel instead of Panel. And set the FlowDirection property to TopDown
You can create a ListBox in the panel, and then add the Labels to it, rather than to panel directly.
Use a TableLayoutPanel and set its ColumnCount to 1.

i have a panel in my winforms and in it i load some usercontrols .
i would like to autoscroll to the bottom of the panel( as my panel fills ) everytime a new usercontrol is added . How can i do so ?
You can do that by setting the VerticalScroll of the Panel but I think it would be better to use ScrollControlIntoView instead.
private void panel1_ControlAdded(object sender, ControlEventArgs e)
{
panel1.ScrollControlIntoView(e.Control);
}
Good luck!
You could use ScrollControlIntoView and pass the control you last added.
An alternate solution would be:
panel.VerticalScroll.Value = panel.VerticalScroll.Maximum
I found that continuously adding controls to the panel at vertical increments would be affected negatively whenever a user had scrolled the panel up or down. I used the tip from Homam above, and found the following to work well:
panel1.VerticalScroll.Value = 0;
// Creating and adding a TextBox, tb, to the panel
panel1.ScrollControlIntoView(tb);
So first, I scroll to the top in order to use absolute vertical positions for my text boxes, then I place the Text Box, and finally, I make sure that the newly created text box comes into view.
I'm trying to append multiple UserControls to my WinForm Panel.
At first, the Controls.Add() function was adding the UserControls one above the other. But then I figured out that I need to use Dock property. I've changed the Dock property of the UserControl to DockStyle.Left and this is what I've got:
But when I tried to add another UserControl this is what I've got:
The added UserControl leaked out of the panel.
I want the new UserControl to be appended in the new line if there not enough space for the previous line to contain the UserControl.
I would expect to see something like that:
How can I achieve the desired result?
Thanks to #IvanStoev I solved the problem.
What I needed to do is to change my Panel to FlowLayoutPanel.
FlowLayoutPanel arranges himself the appended UserControls.
I have created a FlowLayoutPanel where labels are added dynamically, the label data is taken from a datagridview. Is it possible to sort those labels using a Date column from the datagridview?
A flow layout panel will keep it's child controls in the order that they are added to it.
This means that you can't sort the controls on it.
Your only options are either to remove all the labels and add then in a different order, or to use a regular panel and then sort the existing label by changing the location property of all the labels.
The first option is, of course, much easier.
It is possible to order items of any container using the SetChildIndex method.
Here is an example of how to move an item up one place:
myControl.Parent.Controls.SetChildIndex(
myControl, myControl.Parent.Controls.GetChildIndex(myControl) - 1)
I have a ListView control which is behind other controls. I cant set parent nor use BringInFront function like in winforms to make it front. How I can achieve this in WPF? Bring ListView control in top of other controls.
You can set the ZIndex Property to the maximum.

OR
Alternatively, just move the ListView control to the bottom of the declarations inside the Grid (z-order is bottom (highest) to top (lowest)). Perhaps a bit counterintuitive.
You can do this,
Goto View->Designer (Shift+f7)
Right Click your ListView ,
Order->Bring To Front
I'm using a TableLayoutPanel control and in my scenario I have to place two controls inside of one particular cell, is that possible? If so, please elaborate.
You should use a Panel or any other content control inside that cell and then you'll be able to add many controls inside it.
Put a tablelayout panel in the cell and give it two columns and one row. There's your two "cells".
Put a Panel inside the cell and in that panel control you can place as many controls as you want
Try something like this:
1) Create user control and place all control you want on it and than add new control in the cell
2) Put controls in the panel then put panel in the cell
