How to: Create a Resizable Windows Form for Data Entry

A good layout responds well to changes in the dimensions of its parent form. You can use the TableLayoutPanel control to arrange the layout of your form to resize and position your controls in a consistent way as the form's dimensions change. The TableLayoutPanel control is also useful when changes in the contents of your controls cause changes in the layout. The process covered in this procedure can be done within the Visual Studio environment. Also see Walkthrough: Creating a Resizable Windows Form for Data Entry.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use a TableLayoutPanel control to build a layout that responds well when the user resizes the form. It also demonstrates a layout that responds well to localization.

#using <System.dll>
#using <System.Data.dll>
#using <System.Drawing.dll>
#using <System.Windows.Forms.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collections::Generic;
using namespace System::ComponentModel;
using namespace System::Data;
using namespace System::Drawing;
using namespace System::Text;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;

// This form demonstrates how to build a form layout that adjusts well
// when the user resizes the form. It also demonstrates a layout that 
// responds well to localization.
