FlowLayoutPanel Child Control Arrangement?

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I am trying to use a FlowLayoutPanel control, and it works pretty well for what I want, but I need to change how it lays out the child controls (buttons in my case).

Right now, there are spaces between each button on the panel, and I want it to lay them out right next to each other (no space between buttons, either left-right or top-bottom). Basically I have up to 90 of these buttons arranged in different orders of left-right and top-bottom that I want basically sitting like a grid.

I wasn't able to figure out how to do this using my Google searches.

Can someone show me how?

Thanks!

To get the appearance of a rectangular grid, the buttons will all have to be the same size. Then eliminate the inter-button spacing by setting each button's Margin to zero. Something like this:

Button btn = new Button();
btn.Size = new Size(200, 30);
btn.Margin = Padding.Empty;
