Control..::.InitLayout Method

Called after the control has been added to another container.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic

Protected Overridable Sub InitLayout

protected virtual void InitLayout()

Visual C++

protected:
virtual void InitLayout()

abstract InitLayout : unit -> unit 
override InitLayout : unit -> unit

Remarks

The InitLayout method is called immediately after adding a control to a container. The InitLayout method enables a control to initialize its layout state based on its container. For example, you would typically apply anchoring and docking to the control in the InitLayout method.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding InitLayout in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's InitLayout method so that the control is displayed correctly.
