I am using the PropertyGrid panel, and it has anchor on it - can I hide it ? Besides, I have overcomed the anchor problem. I need the propertyGrid for the most of the propeties (colors, borders, etc ....). All the layout, and position - I am doing by hands in the hard way. Now - I try to overcome setting parent-child relations as it should be set (panel that has some controls on it). Thanks :)

The key part is that you have to assign anchor property to your own property like named "PropGrid1Anchor", rather than native Control.Anchor at runtime, like in the example below. Place this into your existing Form class code: '-------------------------------------------------------------------- Private Sub Button1_Click _ (ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click ' Change our custom anchor property to see it raised Me.PropGrid1Anchor = AnchorStyles.Right _ Or AnchorStyles.Bottom End Sub Public Event PropGrid1AnchorChanged(ByVal sender As Object) Public Property PropGrid1Anchor() As AnchorStyles Get Return Me.PropertyGrid1.Anchor End Get Set(ByVal value As AnchorStyles) ' It will also set built-in anchor property Me.PropertyGrid1.Anchor = value ' Let it raise RaiseEvent PropGrid1AnchorChanged(Me) End Set End Property Public Sub PropGrid_AnchorChanged _ (ByVal sender As Object) _ Handles Me.PropGrid1AnchorChanged ' Test it MsgBox("Raised!") End Sub '-------------------------------------------------------------------- Note that you're assigning anchor property to specific instance of PropertyGrid control, that is PropertyGrid1. You can customize it in order to your needs. There may be other thoughts, but also it can be an option to evaluate. HTH, Onur Güzel |
