Vertically aligning controls in a TableLayoutPanel

Question

Is there any way to have textual content of controls on a TableLayoutPanel align themselves properly? I've got labels in column 0, and textboxes (or occasionally ComboBox or NumericUpDown controls) in column 1, but the text in the label is usually a pixel or two out (vertically) on most rows.

Answer 1

Oh, you mean that text baseline for label is different than for other controls? If so, try to remove vertical anchors. You may play with margins as well.

Answer 2

What I usually do is put them in a container eg a panel and anchor them relatively to that. The advantages of adding a container is you can also reduce the no of Win handlers. In that case that wouldn't matter , because you already have the TablelayoutPanel so basically for all the controls you only have a single handler.

Answer 3

You can set following properties:

for Label
1.Autosize= false;
2.TextAlign= MiddleLeft;

for Controls like Combobox,Textbox

goto View -> Toolbars -> Layout

Now you can give layout of your controls very easily by the Toolbar by selecting Multiple Controls at a Time............
