.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / June 2006Toolbar Scrolls with Window
I have a main form with autoscroll and a menu docked top & left. When I scroll to the right or down, the menu moves off-screen. How do I keep that from happening? (Do I have to set the location of the menu with each scroll-bar move???). Place the menu and a panel in the form, make the panel scrollable instead of the form, and place the other controls on the panel. > I have a main form with autoscroll and a menu docked top & left.

Thanks for the advice. It works great. I'm a bit surprised though that you have to do that. I thought for sure there must be a 'dock to the visible boundaries' settings somewhere.... > Place the menu and a panel in the form, make the panel scrollable > instead of the form, and place the other controls on the panel.

That would require that the control would be excluded from the normal positioning of child controls and instead be placed outside the actual parent control, changing the size of the scrolling area. That would in turn mean that the parent control would need three sets of coordinates, one for the original position of the control, one for the scrolling area that is left when the docked childen has been placed, and one for the virtual area that is shown in the scrolling area. It think that it's more straight forward to actually place the control outside the area that should scroll. :) > Thanks for the advice. It works great.

(Do I have to set the location of the >>> menu with each scroll-bar move???). Those three sets of positions already exist: Form.Location and Form.Size contain the visible bounds Form.AutoScrollPosition.X and Form.AutoScrollPosition.Y indicate the virtual area offset Control.Position indicate where the control is. I could've made it work by adding the AutoScrollPosition.X & Y to the control position to move them every time scrolling occurred. I was expecting some type of native method to accomplish the same (by docking the control to the form.position). You're suggestion is easier than capturing scrollbar events, so I'll go with that. > That would require that the control would be excluded from the normal > positioning of child controls and instead be placed outside the actual [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >>>> do I keep that from happening?

Instead of using the AutoScroll property of the form, dock a MenuStrip on the top of your form and add a Panel docked to fill the remaining portion of the form. Set the AutoScroll property of the Panel control to True, and add your controls to this panel. Gabriele >I have a main form with autoscroll and a menu docked top & left.
