The following code example creates three Button controls on a form and sets their size and location by using the various size-related and location-related properties. This example requires that you have a Form that has a width and height of at least 300 pixels.
// Create three buttons and place them on a form using // several size and location related properties. private void AddOKCancelButtons() { // Set the button size and location using // the Size and Location properties. Button buttonOK = new Button(); buttonOK.Location = new Point(136,248); buttonOK.Size = new Size(75,25); // Set the Text property and make the // button the form's default button. buttonOK.Text = "&OK"; this.AcceptButton = buttonOK; // Set the button size and location using the Top, // Left, Width, and Height properties. Button buttonCancel = new Button(); buttonCancel.Top = buttonOK.Top; buttonCancel.Left = buttonOK.Right + 5; buttonCancel.Width = buttonOK.Width; buttonCancel.Height = buttonOK.Height; // Set the Text property and make the // button the form's cancel button. buttonCancel.Text = "&Cancel"; this.CancelButton = buttonCancel; // Set the button size and location using // the Bounds property. Button buttonHelp = new Button(); buttonHelp.Bounds = new Rectangle(10,10, 75, 25); // Set the Text property of the button. buttonHelp.Text = "&Help"; // Add the buttons to the form. this.Controls.AddRange(new Control[] {buttonOK, buttonCancel, buttonHelp} ); }
