UserControl not fitting onto Form

UserControl not fitting onto Form

UserControl not fitting onto Form

(OP)
Hello,

I'm having trouble getting my UserControl to fit snuggly in my panel. Here's a screen shot of what it looks like:



The UserControl is in red and the panel I'm trying to fit it onto is in grey (the white is a ListBox in my UserControl). As you can see,

it's going off the right edge of the Form.

I have these settings for both the panel and the UserControl:

AutoSize: true
AutoSizeMode: GrowAndShrink
Anchor: AnchorStyle.Left | AnchorStyle.Top | AnchorStyle.Right
Dock: DockStyle.Top

But for some reason, either the panel or the UserControl doesn't want to shrink down to the appropriate size.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

RE: UserControl not fitting onto Form

You haven't shown the code that you use to place your control in the panel. Try adding your control to the Controls collection of the Panel and if appropriate set a suitable DockingStyle

Thanks softhemc,

Setting dockstyle to top worked.
