Resolved Add item inside a Split container and fill

[dv2020]

Hi,

I'm trying to add an item inside a split panel, then set the dock to fill. I have tried both methods below but not having any luck.

Tried setting the dock to fill, the moving it into the container panel.

            crystalReportViewer1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
            splitContainer1.Panel2.Controls.Add(crystalReportViewer1);

Tried the moving it into the container panel, then setting the dock to fill.

    splitContainer1.Panel2.Controls.Add(crystalReportViewer1);
            crystalReportViewer1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

Any have any other things i could try?

Thanks

David

So what's the actual issue? Is the control not appearing at all or is it appearing but not docking? Please provide a FULL and CLEAR explanation: this is what I'm trying to do, this is how I'm trying to do it and this is what happens when I try.

Certainly the first option is the right one, in principle. You should always configure a control before adding it to a form. I just tried this code and it worked just as expected:

var btn = new Button {Text = "Click Me!", Dock = DockStyle.Fill};

splitContainer1.Panel2.Controls.Add(btn);

Does it work for you with other controls? I don't use CR so I can't test with a report viewer specifically but, really, you should already have tested with other controls to try to narrow down the issue.

Turns out, when using a crystal report I need to add it after refreshing the report. See below. Hopefully helps anyone else who comes across the issue using crystal reports and docking.

crystalReportViewer1.RefreshReport();
crystalReportViewer1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
splitContainer1.Panel1.Controls.Add(crystalReportViewer1);
