How do I keep my winforms controls from overlapping when I expand the application?

Question

I have a pretty simple winforms application. It contains a rich edit box, embedded browser, progress bar, a few buttons etc.

I have the anchors on the controls set to expand in all directions.

When expanding up and down, however, the controls will overlap one another. How do I prevent this from happening?

Thanks

Answer 1

你最好的办法是在你的表单中添加一个TableLayoutPanel ，其中包含“布局网格”，它应该停靠在表格中，然后你可以将你的控件添加到表格的单元格中（它们可以覆盖多个行和列，这样你就可以得到你想要的布局）。

Answer 2

You must set the property Autosize=true on every control, especially on the main form.

Note that some controls like TabControl have this property, but you can't see it with intellisense (Attribute Browseable=false ).
