Re: user control elements completely displaced when control is used on windows form

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Linda,

thanks for your reply. I neither used FlowLayoutPanel nor TableLayoutPanel. I got a single main form which was kind of a "rapid prototype" and just continued on it. I will just sketch hierarchically how I began:

*GroupBox
+GroupBox
-Combobox (4x)
-Label (8x)
+ComboBox
-TextBox (4x)
-Label (8x)
+Button (9x)
*GroupBox
+TabControl
-UserControl (dynamically added)

and so on. Other controls used within group boxes:

-ProgressBar
-RadioButtons

Now I have to reuse the first group:

*GroupBox
+GroupBox
-Combobox (4x)
-Label (8x)
+ComboBox
-TextBox (4x)
-Label (8x)
+Button (9x)

I just created a new user control and did a copy-and-paste. The arrangement was perfectly the same in the designer view on the control.
After dragging the user control back to the main form it was bigger and the group boxes, buttons, etc. were displaced.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

regards

Fabian

Hi Fabian,

Do you create your project in VS 2005? If yes, do you use FlowLayoutPanel or TableLayoutPanel on the UserControl?

If you use FlowLayoutPanel or TableLayoutPanel on the UserControl and set its Dock property to Fill , when you put the UserControl onto the form and resize the UserControl or dock it to a border of the form, the layout of the UserControl is rearranged.

If you have used FlowLayoutPanel or TableLayoutPanel on the UserControl, I recommend you to set its Dock property to None.

If you haven't used FlowLayoutPanel or TableLayoutPanel on the UserControl, would you tell me what controls other than lable, textbox and button you have put on the UserControl?

I look forward to your reply.


Sincerely,
