Question

I want to design one simple form with Microsoft Visual Studio, I have one DataGridView and one ListView. When I resize the main form, I want the components to resize related to the size of main form and size of each other.

I use the anchor property but it didn’t work as I expected, I want controllers to remain side by side in all situations.

As you can see in the 2 images below, when I maximize the window there is a gap between Datagridview and ListView. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

You need to set the Anchor of your grid to

//control to the left, this will expand and take most space
listview.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Bottom | AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right

//control to the right, this will keep it's size 
grid.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Bottom | AnchorStyles.Right

Now if you want them to have always the same size;
add a TableLayoutPanel with 2 columns set to 50%, and add your listview and grid to it. (The TableLayoutPanelshould be anchored so it expands)
