Specifies how a TableLayoutPanel will gain additional rows or columns after its existing cells are full.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)

'Declaration
Public Enumeration TableLayoutPanelGrowStyle
'Usage
Dim instance As TableLayoutPanelGrowStyle

public enum TableLayoutPanelGrowStyle
public enum TableLayoutPanelGrowStyle

 Member nameDescription
AddColumnsThe TableLayoutPanel gains additional columns after it is full. 
AddRowsThe TableLayoutPanel gains additional rows after it is full. 
FixedSizeThe TableLayoutPanel does not allow additional rows or columns after it is full. 

If all the cells in the TableLayoutPanel are filled and the GrowStyle property is set to FixedSize, an attempt to add another control will throw an exception.

The following example shows how to use TableLayoutPanelGrowStyle to set the GrowStyle property on a TableLayoutPanel control. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the TableLayoutPanel control.

Private Sub growStyleNoneBtn_CheckedChanged( _
ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles growStyleNoneBtn.CheckedChanged

    Me.tlpGrowStyle = TableLayoutPanelGrowStyle.FixedSize

End Sub

Private Sub growStyleAddRowBtn_CheckedChanged( _
ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles growStyleAddRowBtn.CheckedChanged

    Me.tlpGrowStyle = TableLayoutPanelGrowStyle.AddRows

End Sub

Private Sub growStyleAddColumnBtn_CheckedChanged( _
ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles growStyleAddColumnBtn.CheckedChanged

    Me.tlpGrowStyle = TableLayoutPanelGrowStyle.AddColumns

End Sub

Private Sub testGrowStyleBtn_Click( _
ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles testGrowStyleBtn.Click

    Me.TableLayoutPanel1.GrowStyle = Me.tlpGrowStyle
