I want to add 12 small forms on a splitcontainer Panel2 of my application. That is a grid of 4x3 = 12 Forms.
So in the main Form of my application, I add a SplitContainer control. And separately I have created 12 single Forms.
To add the 12 forms to the splitcontainer, I do this:
form1 _form1 = new form1();
_form1.TopLevel = false;
this.splitContainer1.Panel2.Controls.Add(_form1);
_form1.Show();
....
form12 _form12 = new form12();
_form12.TopLevel = false;
this.splitContainer1.Panel2.Controls.Add(_form12);
_form12.Show();
The problem here is that All the Form (form1...form12) are displayed at the same position(Location), behing form1. So I have to move and replace each form manually
What I wanted to get is a SplitCOntainer with all the 12 forms, each one at a specific location different from each other.
So that when the SplitContainer is resizing, all the 12 forms are resizing too and when a form is closed, its pace remain empty till a new form is drap there.
Edit. I edit here to show how I solve this
int _width = this.flowLayoutPanel1.Width;
int _height = this.flowLayoutPanel1.Height;
_width = (int)_width / 4;
_height = (int)_height / 3;
_form1.TopLevel = false;
_form1.Width = _width;
-form1.height = _height;
_form1.Owner = this;
_form1.TopLevel = false;
flowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(_form1);
_form1.Show();
....
_form12.TopLevel = false;
_form12.Width = _width;
-form12.height = _height;
_form12.Owner = this;
_form12.TopLevel = false;
flowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(_form12);
_form12.Show();
And it works as I wanted. Thanks to you for the FlowLayoutPanel introduction into SplitContainer.panel
