My approach is nothing more than a hack. Was more of a short-term than real solution.

Apologies in advance if I am butting in inappropriately, or this has been covered, as I have not followed this thread. This article explains custom layout extenders very well and has a lovely sample project. I have seen nothing better. (And it enabled me to at least grasp what attributes were about!) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dndotne t/html/custlaywinforms.asp cheers, Iain -----Original Message----- From: Unmoderated discussion of advanced .NET topics.

This might be obvious, but if you code something that could read through the code of these forms and highlight which controls are the right-most ones for their "row", and which ones are in the middle... If your controls are laid out in an orderly way you may be able to programmatically set the anchors for the right-most controls to the right instead of the default left and a middle column as both. That's a start. Regards, J.

Having looked through the code and read what you said, it sounds like this is the situation: someone has already done the complete design for all of these forms, but they didn't bother making them resizable. You now want to fix that. Is that about right? The problem is that handling resizing always requires some work. It needs a certain amount of thought and planning because there isn't any reliable way of automating the process completely. You will, unfortunately, need to work out what layout settings are required for each control in order to get the behaviour you want on resizing. As Mark Levison points out, even in Java where the built-in suite of layout managers provides a lot more options, you absolutely need to plan ahead, and work out how each form will exploit the layout facilities. (And yes, sorry, I was a bit too harsh on Java layout. It mainly comes from the fact that the vast majority of Swing-based Java apps that I've used have pretty poor UIs. I understand that it is possible to do a better job if you put the effort in. But it does usually end up being at least as manual a job as it is in Windows Forms.) -- Ian Griffiths - DevelopMentor http://www.interact-sw.co.uk/iangblog/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Ranjan > > I can post some initialize component code here[1], =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor(r) http://www.develop.com Some .NET courses you may be interested in: Essential .NET: building applications and components with CSharp August 30 - September 3, in Los Angeles http://www.develop.com/courses/edotnet View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com IMPORTANT NOTICE Email from OOCL is confidential and may be legally privileged.
