public:
virtual void Add(System::Windows::Forms::Control ^ control, int column, int row);
public virtual void Add (System.Windows.Forms.Control control, int column, int row);
override this.Add : System.Windows.Forms.Control * int * int -> unit
Public Overridable Sub Add (control As Control, column As Integer, row As Integer)
Parameters
- control
- Control
The control to add.
- column
- Int32
The column in which control
will be placed.
- row
- Int32
The row in which control
will be placed.
Exceptions
Either column
or row
is less than -1.
Remarks
With Add, you can specify the cell position of control
. You can assign control
to a specific cell by providing both the column
and row
parameters, or you can specify only the column or row value and let the LayoutEngine place control
at the next open cell. This is known as letting the control flow to its position in the TableLayoutPanel control.
Set column
to -1 if you want control
to occupy a fixed row position.
Set row
to -1 if you want control
to occupy a fixed column position.
If neither column
nor row
is -1, control
will be added at the absolute position given by (column
, row
).
If you set both column
and row
to -1, control
will flow to the first open position, with the specific flow behavior defined by the TableLayoutPanel.GrowStyle value. This is equivalent to using the Control.ControlCollection.Add method.
To get to the actual current position of a control, use the TableLayoutPanel.GetPositionFromControl method. This method takes into account the entire TableLayoutPanel control state, including column or row spanning and when the TableLayoutPanel.LayoutEngine has placed a control with its Column
and Row
properties set to -1.
