I have a splitter with a group box in it:
top panel
----splitter------------------------
group box------
xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxx
[button]
The group box is set to DockStyle.Fill. If the Button is set to DockStyle.Bottom, the button clings to the bottom of the panel, as I'd like it to do, but the bottom of the group box is obscured behind the button, as if the group box did not know that the button was occupying the space. The group box thinks all of its contents are visible and the scrollbar disappears.
How do I get the group box to use all space that is available but to extend no lower than the top edge of the button?
You have to make sure that the group box is set to the top: right now it thinks it's "lower" than the button, so it tries to fill the whole panel. If you set the button to be docked first, call GroupBox.BringToFront() second, and then set the GroupBox.DockStyle.Fill, it should work with the available space.

So, if you have seen the Windows 11 Store UI. I want to replicate the border or the sliding bar on the side where every time you click a button the border or sliding bar would go to that button and center it self in the middle.
Create a custom template for the button that has an ItemControl of a single border on the left along with the button content, and when it is selected and animate it.
I have 2 buttons. say for example a "Browse" button and a "Start Data Backup" Button. I have applied a common style to these buttons. find the buttons below.
As you can see, the content of the browse button aligned properly to the center. But the another one doesn't have any borders. it occupied the button completely. I know it is due to the length of the text and we can fix it by setting the width of the button, but unfortunately i cannot set my button width .because i need my button should give same look with different screen resolution.
What i need now is, the content should be aligned as like in browse button regardless of content length. How to achieve this?
If you have limitation on changing the width of Button for different screen resolutions, instead of changing the width of button try overwriting the font size of the content in button. Also make use of content wrapping to get extra text in new line.
When I press a button, my app displays a calendar (within a Dialog) that slides from the bottom of the screen:
I want the Calendar to occupy the whole width of the screen, but it shows some white padding on both sides and also on the top and bottom (It is white because the "Dialog" UIID has a white created image as background)
I have tried changing all the UIID related to Dialog: "Dialog", "DialogBody", "DialogTitle", etc. I set all margins and paddings to cero.
How can I get rid of that padding?
Try change both the DialogUIID and the UIID of the dialog. Also make sure your calendars margin values are set to zero. It could be that your calendar is too small. Try placing it in a table layout with 1 row and 1 column then in layout constraints set the width and height to 100%
Open up the Component Inspector tool and traverse the hierarchy. You will be able to see all the components and their UIID's within the hierarchy and you should be able to understand which one of those components contributes to the padding/margin.
I have a WinForm application that I would like to add a RadDoc like a popup menu on the left inside form main.
The user should be able to hover to the left side of the screen or click some tab on the left side of the screen and then the menu bar will appear.
The RadDock control itself does not have a auto hide.
I can hide the ToolWindow inside the RadDock but this leaves a blue background where the ToolWindow would show.
Also, when the ToolWindows are "AutoHide" they are tabbed at the bottom but they need to be tabbed vertically on the left.
The last thing is that I can't seem to set the "popup" size of the ToolWindows.
I would suggest that you go through the RadDock documentation.

To make the whole control collapsible, you can use the RadCollapsiblePanel control: link.
I have a winform app. On the menu bar, far right, I placed a dropdown box on top of it. When I resize the form the dropdown box obviously stays in the same position (x,y location). How can I get it to move propotionally to the right when the form is resized. It basically stays on the same Y axis.
I can't use a layout control since it's placed on top of the menu.
You can use the Anchor property of the comboBox to do this. Simply set it to Right (probably Top and Right) through the designer.
Or to do it in code:
comboBox1.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Right;
