Control.InitLayout Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Forms

Assembly:

System.Windows.Forms.dll

Called after the control has been added to another container.

protected:
 virtual void InitLayout();

protected virtual void InitLayout ();

abstract member InitLayout : unit -> unit
override this.InitLayout : unit -> unit

Protected Overridable Sub InitLayout ()

Remarks

The InitLayout method is called immediately after adding a control to a container. The InitLayout method enables a control to initialize its layout state based on its container. For example, you would typically apply anchoring and docking to the control in the InitLayout method.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding InitLayout() in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's InitLayout() method so that the control is displayed correctly.
