Hello Team,

I have Windows form with some controls in it.
on left side I have label and on right I have Text box and combo box all control are aligned properly.

But for the case when label text crosses its size then that label text overlaps with my control on right side.

I want to make form like when ever my label text is increases either my right side control move to right and my form is fixed so when control move I can get horizontal scroll bar to look those control

What I have tried:

I tried two different way .

1) designer for that :

I have taken panel and added Table Layout panel inside it still not working

C#
namespace TableLayoutPanelSample
{
    partial class Form1
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Required designer variable.
        /// 
        private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;

        /// <summary>
        /// Clean up any resources being used.
        /// 
        /// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.
        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            if (disposing && (components != null))
            {
                components.Dispose();
            }
            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }

        #region Windows Form Designer generated code

        /// <summary>
        /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
        /// the contents of this method with the code editor.
        /// 
        private void InitializeComponent()

You have 2 possibilities :
- switch the AutoSize-Property from your Label to false an prevent the changing of the Size
- catch the AutoSizeChanged-Event from your Label and reposition here the location of your controls depending on the Labels Location and it's Size
