I have two controls in a groupbox ("Waveforms"). I would like them to dynamically resize also by height but can't get it to work. I've used left|top|right anchor for 1st control ("Left channel") and left|bottom|right anchor for 2nd ("Right channel").
Here is a short video of problem.
How can I acomplish this?
If you want your controls to share vertical space of the GroupBox, you can use a TableLayoutPanel or a SplitContainer.
By using a TableLayoutPanel you can easily specify how the vertical space should be shared by controls. For example you can add two rows to the TableLayoutPanel and give them each 50% of the whole height.
By using a SplitContainer, the user can change the occupied heights of the controls at runtime.

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.
I have control containers tightly bound to the edge of user controls, evenly spaced on both sides of said user control (child controls are always centered within the parent). Using the designer, I am attempting to add these user controls which that spans all columns within a TableLayoutPanel. I am clicking on the control container and clicking the "Center Horizontally" button on the "Layout" Toolbar. The control will not center.
Why? How do easily center the control?
What I am experiencing does not align with the documentation How to: Align and Stretch a Control in a TableLayoutPanel Control
Problem Control is the 5 Buttons which should be centered among the 2 spanned columns shown:
Buttons are tightly bound to edge of control:
New image showing anchors properly set to "Left, Right" on suspect control
New image showing anchors set to "None"
Try setting the Anchor property to None:
dataMasterControl1.Anchor = AnchorStyles.None;
It should center itself from within the TableLayoutPanel cells that contains the control. You may have to adjust the size of the UserControl itself.
I know this is not a full answer but have you tried to adjust the row, column and cell sizes at all? It would be helpful if you would post a screen shot maybe?

how to resize a tab control in a winform (C# .Net), controls(inside tabpage) must move while resizing the form
maybe the Dock property is what you're looking for.
If you put a panel.Dock=Dock.Fill then it will take all the space available.
so when the controls is resized, the panel is too.
Going off of your comment to Andrzej's answer:
the control's size must be unchanged and move one below the other while resizing the form
It sounds like what you need is a FlowLayoutPanel. Drop one onto your TabPage, set its FlowDirection property to the value of your choice, and place your controls into it. Now, whenever the TabControl is resized, the controls it contains will automatically shift positions to fill the space.
Set Anchor property of that control. Alternatively you may use Dock
Anchor - defines a constant space between one or more edges of it's container.
Dock - control borders are docked to its parent control.
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.
i have 3 custom controls, that i want to place in a resizable window next to each other. when the window is being resized, these controls should also resize, each taking 33% of the available width.
i tried to use a table layout, but it seems the table only grows, but never shrinks.
thanks for any help on this!
You can use a TableLayoutPanel, with 3 columns each of size "33% percent". Then you put each of your control in the panel, and set the anchor property as you wish (for example right-left if your control should resize themselves only on the horizontal plane).
Your TableLayoutPanel should also have its property Dock set to True so that he can occupy all your window and resize accordingly.
