Within a user control, I am dynamically creating a TableLayoutPanel at runtime and then adding controls to it. Basically, I want it to have 4 columns of equal width (25% each).
I have no problems other than when the table is created, the first column is certainly much wider than 25% (more like 60%) and the remaining columns are of equal width.
My code for creating the table is as follows:
TableLayoutPanel
tab = new TableLayoutPanel();tab.SuspendLayout();
tab.Dock =
DockStyle.Top; ColumnStyle defaultColumn = new ColumnStyle(SizeType.Percent, 25);tab.ColumnStyles.Add(defaultColumn);
tab.AutoSize =
true;tab.RowCount = 1;
tab.ColumnCount = 4;
RowStyle defaultRow = new RowStyle();defaultRow.SizeType =
SizeType.AutoSize;tab.RowStyles.Add(defaultRow);
....I then add label controls to the table and then call tab.ResumeLayout(). All i need to fix is the problem of the first column width. Can anyone help
Cheers

Thanks John, but that didn't really help.
I have managed to solve the problem though! The solution was to iterate through the columns adding the columnstyle AFTER I had set the column count to 4. My code is now as follows:
TableLayoutPanel tab = new TableLayoutPanel();tab.SuspendLayout();
tab.BackColor =
Color.White;tab.CellBorderStyle =
TableLayoutPanelCellBorderStyle.Inset;tab.Dock =
DockStyle.Top;tab.AutoSize =
true;tab.RowCount = 1;
tab.ColumnCount = 4;
RowStyle defaultRow = new RowStyle();defaultRow.SizeType =
SizeType.AutoSize;tab.RowStyles.Add(defaultRow);
for (int i = 0; i < tab.ColumnCount; i++){
tab.ColumnStyles.Add(
new ColumnStyle(SizeType.Percent, 25));}
Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.
Cheers

Here's a link to a MSDN article which shows how to arrange controls on a windows form using the tablelayoutpanel
