Adjust the height of labels location and autosize to content

Manchi 21

I create a user control. i have label (labe1, label2, label3). this labels have auto size property to false, and the user control scale base on the combine height of the three labels.

my problem is the height of the labels work fine but their location is always fixed. the don't base on the content scalability. I want I such a away that the moment label1 scale to fit parent container, so does the label2 to shift up base on the label1 bottom not stay fixed. A tried un-anchoring them but no result.

            Graphics g = CreateGraphics();  
            SizeF size = g.MeasureString(label1.Text, label1.Font, label1.Width);  
  
            label1.Height = int.Parse(Math.Round(size.Height + 2, 0).ToString());  
            label10.Height = int.Parse(Math.Round(size.Height + 2, 0).ToString());  
  
            label10.Location = new Point(label1.Left, label1.Bottom);  
  
            label9.Location = new Point(label10.Left, label10.Bottom);  
            this.Height = label9.Bottom + 80;

I usually get unnecessary space between label1, label2 and label3 after resizing, their location still remain stuck instead of adjusting to go up. the anchor property doesn't seem to work

@Manchi , Based on your description, I have some questions to confirm with you.

I am not full understand this sentence, can you give the picture about it?

usually get unnecessary space between label1, label2 and label3 after resizing, their location still remain stuck instead of adjusting to go up.

Do you want the three labels to be close together?

Finally, It will be better for you to solve the problem to provide your usercontrol design picture and related code about CreateGraphics() method.

Yes i want the labels to be close together even after content fit.

Did you recalculate the size variable according to the text of label10 before setting the height of label10?

For automatic placement of controls, usually it is possible to use the FlowLayoutPanel control.

Show your current code that does not work and which reproduces the problem.

private void flowLayoutPanel1_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (CurrentFlowWidthWidth != flowLayoutPanel1.ClientSize.Width)
            {
                CurrentFlowWidthWidth = flowLayoutPanel1.ClientSize.Width;
                foreach (Control c in flowLayoutPanel1.Controls)
                {
                    c.Width = CurrentFlowWidthWidth - c.Margin.Horizontal;
                }
            }
        }

Graphics g = CreateGraphics();
            SizeF size = g.MeasureString(label1.Text, label1.Font, label1.Width);

            label1.Height = int.Parse(Math.Round(size.Height + 2, 0).ToString());
            label10.Height = int.Parse(Math.Round(size.Height + 2, 0).ToString());

            label10.Location = new Point(label1.Left, label1.Bottom);

            label9.Location = new Point(label10.Left, label10.Bottom);
            this.Height = label9.Bottom + 80;

It seems that you did not recalculate the size variable according to the text of label10 before setting the height of label10.
