Examples

The following code example uses the derived class, Panel. The example docks a button in a panel control and cycles through the ScrollableControl.DockPaddingEdges properties, setting each individually on the click of the button. This code requires that a Panel control and a Button have been instantiated on a form, and a class-level member variable named myCounter has been declared as a 32-bit signed integer. This code should be called on the Click event of the button.

void SetDockPadding()
{
   // Dock the button in the panel.
   button1->Dock = System::Windows::Forms::DockStyle::Fill;

   // Reset the counter if it is greater than 5.
   if ( myCounter > 5 )
   {
      myCounter = 0;
   }


   /* Set the appropriate DockPadding and display
          which one was set on the button face. */
   switch ( myCounter )
   {
      case 0:
         panel1->DockPadding->All = 0;
         button1->Text = "Start";
         break;

      case 1:
         panel1->DockPadding->Top = 10;
         button1->Text = "Top";
         break;

      case 2:
         panel1->DockPadding->Bottom = 10;
         button1->Text = "Bottom";
         break;

      case 3:
         panel1->DockPadding->Left = 10;
         button1->Text = "Left";
         break;

      case 4:
         panel1->DockPadding->Right = 10;
         button1->Text = "Right";
         break;

      case 5:
         panel1->DockPadding->All = 20;
         button1->Text = "All";
         break;
   }
   myCounter++;
}

private void SetDockPadding()
 {
    // Dock the button in the panel.
    button1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
    
    // Reset the counter if it is greater than 5.
    if (myCounter > 5)
    {
       myCounter = 0;
    }
 
    /* Set the appropriate DockPadding and display
       which one was set on the button face. */
