Examples

The following code example uses the GetRowSpan and SetRowSpan methods to set the width of a Button control in a TableLayoutPanel.

C#
private void toggleSpanBtn_Click(
    System.Object sender, 
    System.EventArgs e)
{
    Control c = this.TableLayoutPanel1.GetControlFromPosition(0, 0);

    if ( c != null )
    {
        int xSpan = this.TableLayoutPanel1.GetColumnSpan(c);
        int ySpan = this.TableLayoutPanel1.GetRowSpan(c);

        if (xSpan>1)
        {
            xSpan = 1;
            ySpan = 1;
        }
        else
        {
            xSpan = 2;
            ySpan = 2;
        }

        this.TableLayoutPanel1.SetColumnSpan(c, xSpan);
        this.TableLayoutPanel1.SetRowSpan(c, ySpan);
    }
}

Remarks

Row spanning is often useful for positioning a control that is considerably taller than its peers.

This method is called by the RowSpan property, which the panel adds to its child controls at design time.
