Control.InitLayout Method (System.Windows.Forms)

InitLayout Method

.NET Framework Class Library

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

Protected Overridable Sub InitLayout

Visual Basic (Usage)

Me.InitLayout()

protected virtual void InitLayout()

Visual C++

protected:
virtual void InitLayout()

JScript

protected function InitLayout()

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.
