Usually, you try to avoid scrollbar at design time by making the form big enough... Using a UserControl might help in some case as you can design the control at a large size but make it smaller when you insert it.

~~You can't. The only way to see the rest of the table is to resize the container your TLP is in to show the content you need to see.~~

If AutoScroll is set to True on any of the controls that support it, scrolling in the designer works.

The TableLayoutPanel is not really a control. It's an extension that adds a layer of layout functionality to existing controls. The TableLayoutPanel doesn't support scrolling at all.

Yes i see. This occur with DataGridView too. But in Form scroll bar, we can drag it to see other control. So what is different mechanism here?

My bad. It helps to turn on AutoScroll instead of cycling AutoScalMode.
