    usercontrol resizing dock anchoring parent vb.net

    My application consists of basically a treeview on the left side,
    along with a panel control that takes up the right side. When nodes
    are clicked on the left, the data on the right side of the panel is
    changed based on that type.

    What I'm using are usercontrols, so I can do the visual design of them
    in a separate window. when the node is clicked, I assign the parent
    of the usercontrol to the panel control that is on the right side of
    the window. this is all working great except for a small problem. I
    can't get the usercontrol to respect the docking/anchoring properties
    so that when the screen is maximized the controls on the usercontrol
    get adjusted automatically.

    The main control on each usercontrol is a panel that is set to Dock-
    Fill. All other controls are placed within this panel accordingly
    with Top,Left anchoring. I thought that was all I had to do so that
    the panel got filled, but I guess the usercontrol panel is only
    filling to the size of the usercontrol.

    How do i get the usercontrol to resize (and all of its controls) based
    on the size of its parent (which is the panel on the main form).

    Hope that made sense.

    Thanks !
    Mark

      Did you dock or anchor the user control itself to the parent form?

      Also each control within the user control/panel needs to be anchored
      properly as well.

      How do i get the usercontrol to resize (and all of its controls) based
      on the size of its parent (which is the panel on the main form).

          I'd expect to see something more like

          RightPanel.Cont rols.Add( userControl )

          but they /probably/ do much the same things, under the covers.

          Follow the above with

          ' You'll need this if SuspendLayout has been called
          userControl.Siz e = Rightpanel.Clie ntSize

          ' Get the UserControl to fill the panel
          userControl.Doc k = DockStyle.Fill

              Didn't seem to help. This is basically the code in the main form when
              the treenode is selected

              userControlList (i).Visible = True
              userControlList (i).Parent = Me.pnlBottomRig ht
              userControlList (i).size = pnlBottomRight. Size
              userControlList (i).dock = DockStyle.Fill
              userControlList (i).PopulateDat a()
