Control sizes on a form

Hi Sam,

It depends on your needs, it is best to host your controls inside a FlowLayoutPanel or a FlexLayoutPanel.

Both of those controls have the ability to automatically adjust the control size to fit the container.

You can checkout our documentation, it covers all grounds for you to get started, we also have several books that you can checkout.

I would also encourage you to take a look at the DemoBrowser application we have online, it’s open source and filled with all the samples and demos you need!

Best,

Hi Alaa,

What is the best practise or recommended way of placing controls(input box, drop downs, grid) on a form?

Thanks

Okay…I just introduced the table layout panel to try the resizing issue. However initially I had just placed the controls on panels without putting them in rows and columns.

Let me try that. Thanks for your help.

Hi Alaa,

Thanks for your prompt answer. Yes, I have used Dock property. Anchor is set to Top-Left

Should I set the doc properties of controls themselves or the containers?

I have controls(text boxes and comboboxes) on an accordion panel whose Dock property is set to Fill, which I have placed it in on a table layout panel which has a property Dock as Fill

Thanks

Hi Sam,

Thank you for contacting support.

Have you used the Anchor and Dock properties of the controls?

You can use them to stretch the controls in their containers.

Best,
Alaa
