Hello frnds,

In my project, i have 2 groupboxes. Based on some condition i have to make 1stgroupbox.Visible = false
Now, i want that the 2ndgroupbox (which was under it) should take the 1stGroupbox's place.
How can i do so?
On doing some research, i found that if i use TableLayoutPanel and play with the row AutoSize property, then i can achieve it.
Just wanted to check, are there any other ways to do this.

I dont want to use TableLayoutPanel becoz then i need to make a separate panel or usercontrol to put all the groupboxcontrols in them.

Please suggest.
thanks.

The Location of Groupbox1 is different to GroupBox2 ?
Does the Size from GroupBox1 has to grow up when it becomes Visible ? Or should it shrink ?

Your first GroupBox is invisible, but does still exist. You can access its properties:

C#

groupBox1.Visible = false;
groupBox2.Location = groupBox1.Location;
groupBox2.Size = groupBox1.Size;
groupBox2.Visible = true;

Solution 2

For someone who needs the solution for similar problem:
Add TableLayoutPanel and then add your controls to each row of the table. Set the AutoSize property of table's row & column to true.
Worked for me.
