Question

In the TableLayoutPanel, by default, the last element in a row or column takes up the remaining space. How can I achieve a layout where the penultimate or any other element takes up as much space as possible, and among others, the last element takes up only as much space as is necessary?

Answer 1

It depends on how the other rows are set.
Assuming all other rows are auto-sized or of fixed size, setting the penultimate row’s size to 100% does what you want. The designers generated code looks like this:

this.tableLayoutPanel1.RowStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.RowStyle());
this.tableLayoutPanel1.RowStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.RowStyle(System.Windows.Forms.SizeType.Percent, 100F));
this.tableLayoutPanel1.RowStyles.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.RowStyle());
