In Form have ToolStrip and Panel. ToolStrip's Dock value is set to Top, Panel's to Fill. But ToolStrip intervens into Panel and hide first line of Panel. How to set, that toolstrip doesn't hide panel?
I don't want to use MenuStrip, which don't hide anything, but for some reasons i don't want to use it.
Thanks for reply
You have to change the order of the 2 control in Document Outline.
In order to do that go to :
View -> Other Windows -> Document Outline
or use the shortcut keys
ctrl + w, u
then reorder the two controls. If I'm right you should put your Panel first and your ToolStrip after.

I am trying to add another panel (with a splitter) to the right of the following image.
It currently has a Panel on the left with a splitter and 2 panels in the middle with a splitter.
How can i add a panel to the right of these, the panel must go all the way to the top and bottom of the form and be resizable with a splitter? thanks
Change Dock to None of the main split container (I guess its name is splitContainer1).
Add a new SplitContainer inside your form.
Drag and drop entire splitContainer1 inside the left panel of the new split container.
Change Dock of splitContainer1 back to Fill.
Change Dock of splitContainer3 (the new one) to Fill.
Starting from a blank form
I have a MDI parent form as the main window of my application. Within this Form I also have two other Control a Panel and a StatusStrip which are docked to the Right and Bottom respectively.
My issue is that the StatusStrip does not "fill" the entire bottom of the Form. It is stopped by the Panel on the right.
I would have figured by the DockStyle graphic in the properties window of Visual Studio that the Bottom docked Control would fill the entire bottom of the Form.
Is there a way to have the StatusStrip fill the entire bottom and have the Panel docked to the Right while still maintaining the MDI area? (undocked controls in the MDI area allow windows to be "hidden" behind them).
The order matters when the controls are placed on the form. To correct that, you can use the Bring-To-Front and Send-To-Back methods.
While in the designer, right mouse-click the StatusStrip control and select the Send-To-Back option, or alternatively, select the panel control, and select the Bring-To-Front option.
I have a flowlayoutpanel, on which there are some UserControls, which are being dragged and dropped in flowlayoutpanel. I need my controls - userCOntrols to auto resize when resizing the window itself. I need that Usercontrols to be resized automatically when resizing the form.
What can you offer ?
You should use the Dock Property for that.
How to dock a control:
Select the control that you want to dock.
In the Properties window, click the arrow to the right of the Dock property.
An editor is displayed that shows a series of boxes representing the edges and the center of the form.
Click the button that represents the edge of the form where you want to dock the control. To fill the contents of the control's form or container control, click the center box. Click (none) to disable docking.
The control is automatically resized to fit the boundaries of the docked edge.
How can we position the auto scroll of a winform at the top? Currently it is automatically scrolling to bottom of the form.
this.AutoScrollPosition = new Point(0,0);
Where 'this' is the form.
Set Focus to a control at the top.
Winforms scrolls to the control that has focus
In my case I wanted to scroll to a certain control and in the Form that contains mycontrol I did:
mycontrol.Focus();
wich scrolls to the Control
If your form has a panel controls click "View" -> "Tab Order" and click the panel first. The tab's Tab Order will change to 0. This will automatically focus the first panel in the form.
I have a form that has several controls:
ProgressBar at the top of the form (docked)
A TabControl at the top of the form (also docked but underneath the progress bar)
Buttons, TextBoxes and labels inside TabPages of the TabControl
FlowLayoutPanel at the bottom of the screen (docked) with a few buttons in it
Label at the bottom of the form to act as separator (also docked, but above the FlowLayoutPanel)
I am trying to auto size the form to fit its content. What needs to happen is:
Tab pages wrap around its content
Tab control wraps around the largest tab page
The form wraps around the tab control, progress bar and buttons.
Here's an example of how the form looks without AutoSizeMode set to GrowAndShrink (just Grow):

And this is how it looks with AutoSizeMode set to GrowAndShrink:

Please advise.
To get this to work, you have to set the MinimumSize of all your controls to a value. This will be respected from the Shrink-Mode, thus leading to a well sized form.
Make sure the direct children of your form have anchors set exactly to Left and Top. You could set the Form.MinimumSize Property and Form.MaximumSize Property as a precaution.
