The ColumnStyle class represents the user interface (UI) characteristics of column in a TableLayoutPanel. The styles for all the columns in such a table are collected in the TableLayoutPanel.ColumnStyles property.
This simple class offers the Width and SizeType properties for a column.
The following code example demonstrates how to extract a ColumnStyle from a TableLayoutColumnStyleCollection.
This code example is part of a larger example provided for the TableLayoutPanel class.
private void toggleColumnStylesBtn_Click(
System.Object sender,
System.EventArgs e)
{
TableLayoutColumnStyleCollection styles =
this.TableLayoutPanel1.ColumnStyles;
foreach( ColumnStyle style in styles )
{
if( style.SizeType == SizeType.Absolute )
{
style.SizeType = SizeType.AutoSize;
}
else if( style.SizeType == SizeType.AutoSize )
{
style.SizeType = SizeType.Percent;
// Set the column width to be a percentage
// of the TableLayoutPanel control's width.
style.Width = 33;
}
else
{
// Set the column width to 50 pixels.
style.SizeType = SizeType.Absolute;
style.Width = 50;
}
}
}
