OK, this is driving me a bit nuts at this point. Time to ask the crowd:
I have a form that consists of: two vertical "halves" created by a SplitContainer. Inside the bottom "half" / SplitContainer panel... I have:
A set of fields/controls for the user to fill out, contained within a panel.
Below that, a panel containing buttons for "submit", "cancel"...and one that's "show/hide". This "show/hide" is intended to show/hide the panel I just described in point 1 above.
What I want to happen is: when the user clicks to "hide" the panel of controls, not only do those controls vanish, but also:
- The panel containing the submit, cancel and show/hide buttons moves up (so that we don't have this big blank space where the now-hidden panel once was).
- The form resizes itself vertically so as to make up for the now-hidden panel and the fact that we've moved the bottom controls upwards.
I have no problem getting the panel of controls/fields to show/hide. But I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish the other two tasks. I've tried various combinations of AutoSize
, AutoSizeMode
, and Dock
options.
Any suggestions?
