c# - How to set FlowLayoutPanel contents at Center of Form

Question

I have a few Button controls in a FlowLayoutPanel, and I want to set them precisely at middle bottom of Form. In the image below I set the Button precisely at middle by setting the FlowLayoutPanel padding manually by 400 to left.

But when I try to resize or restore down the buttons wont at middle anymore because of manually set of padding.

Is there anything that I can do to set the buttons in middle of FlowLayoutPanel whenever I try to resize it. I'm following the answer base on this post to add and remove buttons dynamically.

Answer 1

Using a single cell TableLayoutPanel which is suitable for centering the content and an auto-size FlowLayoutPanel you can achieve what you are looking for:

Perform these settings on the controls:

• Add your images to a FlowLayoutPanel
  • Set AutoSize of FlowLayoutPanel to true
  • Set AutoSizeMode of FlowLayoutPanel to GrowAndShrink
  • Set Anchor property of FlowLayoutPanel to Top, Bottom
• Use a TableLayoutPanel for hosting the FlowLayoutPanel
  • Use a single Column and a single Row in TableLayoutPanel.
  • Set Dock property of TableLayoutPanel to Bottom.

This way, when you add or remove images dynamically, all images will be shown at bottom center of the form.
