Arrange Control As Per Listview Columns

mahesh waghela

How to arrange control like textbox below listview.columns.[]? . I think listview.columns doesn't have any property or method for arrange other controls exact below listview columns.

It is require when your form and other control including Listview are resizable.

I have Following example :

Listview1

Columns(1) (Amount1) Columns(2)(Amount2) Columns(3)(Amount3)

1000 2000 3000

And I wants textBox1,textBox2 and textBox3 Exact Below Listview and Resizable as per listview Columns. How to do it?.

One way
namespace ListviewTxtBox
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
listView1.Anchor = (AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right | AnchorStyles.Top);

setColumns();
}

public void setColumns()
{
listView1.Columns[0].Width = (listView1.Width / 3)- 2;
listView1.Columns[1].Width = (listView1.Width / 3) - 2;
listView1.Columns[2].Width = (listView1.Width / 3) - 2;
textBox1.Width = (listView1.Width / 3) - 10;
textBox2.Width = (listView1.Width / 3) - 10;
textBox3.Width = (listView1.Width / 3) - 10;
textBox1.Top = listView1.Height + 20;
textBox2.Top = listView1.Height + 20;
textBox3.Top = listView1.Height + 20;
textBox1.Left = listView1.Left + 5;
textBox2.Left = listView1.Left + textBox1.Width + 15;
textBox3.Left = listView1.Left + (textBox1.Width * 2) + 25;
}

private void Form1_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
setColumns();
}

}
}

Anchoring the textboxes the same as the listview did'nt work

true sam, but this code will work when you design the form on normal mode and set it maximized on runtime it will automatically resize with listview I have done it with listview's 7 columns project and it's works. it is the matter of adjust outer control's left to listview columns.width + , - , /, *

I think that the advantage of Frogleg's code is that it automatically adjusts the width of the ListView columns and the corresponding TextBoxes whereas the simplified code does not resize the controls when the form is resized. Right?

Hi
Frogleg

Nice Solution and it is work very well. Here I have generate the easy way which I would like to share with the community is as under:

private void Controls_Size()
{
textBox3.Width = listView1.Columns[5].Width;
textBox2.Width = listView1.Columns[4].Width;
textBox4.Width = listView1.Columns[6].Width;
textBox5.Width = listView1.Columns[7].Width;
textBox2.Left = listView1.Width - listView1.Columns[7].Width - listView1.Columns[6].Width - listView1.Columns[5].Width - listView1.Columns[4].Width-12;
textBox3.Left = listView1.Width - listView1.Columns[7].Width - listView1.Columns[6].Width - listView1.Columns[5].Width-10;
textBox4.Left = listView1.Width - listView1.Columns[7].Width - listView1.Columns[6].Width-7;
textBox5.Left =listView1.Width - listView1.Columns[7].Width-6;

}

and the same also working very well for me. But I hereby accept your answer for first preference. once again thanks.
