Control.PerformLayout Method

Definition

Forces the control to apply layout logic to child controls.

Overloads

PerformLayout(Control, String)

Forces the control to apply layout logic to all its child controls.

PerformLayout()

Forces the control to apply layout logic to all its child controls.

PerformLayout(Control, String)

Forces the control to apply layout logic to all its child controls.

public:
 void PerformLayout(System::Windows::Forms::Control ^ affectedControl, System::String ^ affectedProperty);
public void PerformLayout (System.Windows.Forms.Control affectedControl, string affectedProperty);
public void PerformLayout (System.Windows.Forms.Control? affectedControl, string? affectedProperty);
member this.PerformLayout : System.Windows.Forms.Control * string -> unit
Public Sub PerformLayout (affectedControl As Control, affectedProperty As String)

Parameters

affectedControl
Control

A Control that represents the most recently changed control.

affectedProperty
String

The name of the most recently changed property on the control.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the PerformLayout method. It also demonstrates ways in which the Layout event is raised. In this example, the Click event handler for Button1 explicitly calls PerformLayout. The Click event handler for Button2 implicitly calls PerformLayout. PerformLayout is also called when the form is loaded. Button3 returns the control to the state it was in when loaded. In each case, the Layout event is raised.

This is a complete example. To run the example, paste the following code in a blank form.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
using namespace System::Drawing;

// This custom control has the Layout event implented so that when 
// PerformLayout(AffectedControl, AffectedProperty) is called 
// on the control, where AffectedProperty equals "Bounds" the 
// textbox is centered on the control.
public ref class LayoutControl: public System::Windows::Forms::UserControl
{
public private:
   System::Windows::Forms::TextBox^ TextBox1;

   }

      this->TextBox1->Name = "TextBox1";

      this->Controls->Add( this->TextBox1 );
      this->Name = "LayoutControl";
      this->ResumeLayout( false );
      this->Layout += gcnew LayoutEventHandler( this, &LayoutControl::LayoutControl_Layout );
   }


   // This method is called when the Layout event is fired. 
   // This happens by during the initial load, by calling PerformLayout
   // or by resizing, adding or removing controls or other actions that 
   // affect how the control is laid out. This method checks the 
   // value of e.AffectedProperty and changes the look of the 
   // control accordingly.

Remarks

If the SuspendLayout method was called before calling the PerformLayout method, the Layout event is suppressed.

The affectedControl and affectedProperty parameters can both be set to null. Doing so causes the AffectedControl and AffectedProperty properties of the LayoutEventArgs created to be set to null.

Remarks

If the SuspendLayout method was called before calling the PerformLayout method, the Layout event is suppressed.

The AffectedControl and AffectedProperty properties of the LayoutEventArgs created are set to null if no values were provided when the PerformLayout method was called.
