❔ Dynamically change position of checkboxes?
i'm guessing this is winforms? use a TableLayoutPanel

you don't shift the columns, no
you rarely ever want to use absolute values
with a tlp, you can set the column widths and row heights to auto
which will make them adjust to what's currently inside of them
you can add a margin to each cell (or maybe to what's inside of it? don't remember) to have some extra space
maybe you need to use padding instead of margin idk
if you then set the visibility of the groupbox to hidden, the column will adjust accordingly
sure
that's a tlp with 2 rows and 2 columns, where cell 0,0 contains another control (a panel, or another tlp) that has its columnspan set to 2
uhh
i don't remember
i personally would have put another tlp into that cell
with 2 rows and 1 column
and just stacked the checkboxes like that
what do you mean?
you seem to have made a mistake
you're not meat to make the entire table 2 rows high
you put another table (or grid, if that makes more sense to you) into one of the cells
basically splitting only that one cell into more cells
the same can be achieved by making the entire grid 2 rows high and simply giving all other controls a rowspan of 2
rowspan and columnspan basically meaning how many that specific control occupies
yup
and now you need to play with the docking and anchoring of the controls
again, try to use absolute values as little as possible
this will allow you to resize your window to your heart's content, too
this does mean that you need a "root" tlp as well
it's a little more awkward at first than just dragging and dropping your controls normally
but your UI will actually be resizable and reactive
the labels in the statistics groupbox i would make a tlp as well
but maybe you don't need to
if it's a fixed size anyway
for the columns that plot type, data point start and data point end are in, i'd go with some percentages
padding to position?
oh, misread
i would anchor the checkbox left and right
taken from google images
just not top left, but left right
that will center it vertically in the cell
on the checkbox control
i suggest sorting your properties alphabetically instead of by category
here's an even better google image lol
pretty sure that controls the text position?
anchor on all 4 sides
ah, alright
try dock
can never tell the 2 apart
do you happen to have autosize disabled?
enable it and play with the padding
i think that should give you the result you want
(padding left and right to be specific)
yeah that's the difference between padding and margin
margin is outside of the bounds of the control, padding is inside
that's why i meant if you check autosize, you would need to add padding left and right to get the same look to your button
because of this little gap here
try to start messing with something that isn't winforms
are you use that tlp needs to be there?
can't you just put the label into the cell direcly?
well everything needs to be auto. the label, the tlp, the tlp column, the parent tlp column
the other columns can't take up too much space
like if they're all auto then it's gonna break somewhere
auto as well
or maybe there's like a fit to content (probably not)
and the column the gb is in needs to be auto too
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
so not everything was autosize?
