To achieve this automatically, you can subscribe to the EnabledChanged event of your TableLayoutPanel . You can subscribe to the event using the designer, or with the following line of code:

tableLayoutPanel.EnabledChanged += tableLayoutPanel_EnabledChanged;

Then, from the event handler, we can simply set the enabled property of the scroll bar to match the enabled property value of the TableLayoutPanel:

private void tableLayoutPanel_EnabledChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    scrollbar.Enabled = tableLayoutPanel.Enabled;
}

Now, whenever the enabled state of the TableLayoutPanel changes, the scroll bar enabled state will be updated to match.
