Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to extract a ColumnStyle from a TableLayoutColumnStyleCollection.

This code example is part of a larger example provided for the TableLayoutPanel class.

private void toggleColumnStylesBtn_Click(
    System.Object sender, 
    System.EventArgs e)
{
    TableLayoutColumnStyleCollection styles = 
        this.TableLayoutPanel1.ColumnStyles;

    foreach( ColumnStyle style in styles )
    {
        if( style.SizeType == SizeType.Absolute )
        {
            style.SizeType = SizeType.AutoSize;
        }
        else if( style.SizeType == SizeType.AutoSize )
        {
            style.SizeType = SizeType.Percent;

            // Set the column width to be a percentage
            // of the TableLayoutPanel control's width.
            style.Width = 33;
        }
        else
        {
            // Set the column width to 50 pixels.
            style.SizeType = SizeType.Absolute;
            style.Width = 50;
        }
    }
}

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

    Dim styles As TableLayoutColumnStyleCollection = _
    Me.TableLayoutPanel1.ColumnStyles

    For Each style As ColumnStyle In styles

        If style.SizeType = SizeType.Absolute Then

            style.SizeType = SizeType.AutoSize

        ElseIf style.SizeType = SizeType.AutoSize Then

            style.SizeType = SizeType.Percent

            ' Set the column width to be a percentage
            ' of the TableLayoutPanel control's width.
            style.Width = 33

        Else

            ' Set the column width to 50 pixels.
            style.SizeType = SizeType.Absolute
            style.Width = 50

        End If

    Next

End Sub

Remarks

The ColumnStyle class represents the user interface (UI) characteristics of column in a TableLayoutPanel. The styles for all the columns in such a table are collected in the TableLayoutPanel.ColumnStyles property.

This simple class offers the Width and SizeType properties for a column.
