Hi,

I am developing a Windows Form application for creating an incident. I have some issues with whitespaces in my Form. Bases on some values fields are visible or may not.

How can I fit those fields in my form, so that I avoid whitespaces in my form? Thanks in advance

I guess you have to modify the locations (top) of the elements based on the user input in the first combobox. Also you need to ad´just the height of the form.

Another, perhaps better, option is to re-design the UI so that you won't have to change the locations and dimensions on-the-fly. Suddenly changing the form size may result to a 'restless' UI.

Thanks Mike, with your options will the Windows form adjust automatically? I know there is an option for it, but I don't know the function for it anymore

You can use Anchor and Dock properties for the controls to help the modification if that's what you mean.

Yes, i mean Dock properties. Thanks Mike! :-)
