I have a few Button controls in a FlowLayoutPanel , and I want to set them precisely at middle bottom of Form . In the image below I set the Button precisely at middle by setting the FlowLayoutPanel padding manually by 400 to left. But when I try to resize or restore down the buttons wont at middle anymore because of manually set of padding. Is there anything that I can do to set the buttons in middle of FlowLayoutPanel whenever I try to resize it. I'm following the answer base on this post to add and remove buttons dynamically.

I want to create a property in a control that will act as a viewer that will be able to connect to another non-visual control to show its current status. In this example let’s say that the viewer will simply show the status of online or offline . I want to be able to drop a non-visual control, let’s call it a Heater of type IHeater , on the form and then drop a HeaterMonitor . I want to go into the properties of the HeaterMonitor and for the custom Source property see a list of all of the IHeaters currently on the form. Selecting an instance ( Heater1 ) in the Source property would subscribe

I have a tab control in a windows form and I want to be able to click on a tab and in the body area of the tab I want it to display another form as an embedded component. Is this possible? If so, can someone please provide an example or a link to an example of how to accomplish this? You are probably looking for Tabbed MDI Child Forms You can embed a Form but it's not the best choice. Better place the contents on UserControls and add that to the TabPage. Set your MainForm (Parent) as IsMDIContainer = true; Create an instance of the ChildForm and call this function: FormChild frmChild = new

I've got a Windows Form User Control with a string property for setting the text of a textbox. This string can be multi-line. I've noticed that on some controls with a text property, and instead of being forced to type in the single line property textbox, you get a little pop up where you can type multiple lines. (As a matter of fact, a Windows Forms Textbox control allows this on the Text property.) How do I enable this functionality in the properties window for the property I have designed? The following is not real code in my app, but an example of how such a property might be defined

I'm making a custom control using C#, and I need to add a link to the property box(so I can show a form once it's clicked). Here's an example: You are looking for DesignerVerb . A designer verb is a menu command linked to an event handler. Designer verbs are added to a component's shortcut menu at design time. In Visual Studio, each designer verb is also listed, using a LinkLabel, in the Description pane of the Properties window. You can use a verb for setting value of a single property, multiple properties or for example for just showing an about box. Example: Create a designer for your

I have a custom DataGridView , let's say as such: public MyGridView : DataGridView { public MyGridView() { BackgroundColor = Color.Red; } } Now, when I use this control in a project using the designer, for some reason it feels a need to also set the property in the designer.cs file. So in the designer file, I would have: this.MyGridView1.BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb((byte)(int)255, (byte)(int)0, (byte)(int)0); The problem me with this is that it prevents me from being able to change the color in the constructor of my MyGridView , without having to go through all the forms in
