keep 3 controls centered on a form

If you have 3 controls (and the code can be altered to accomodate more), you can use the code below to center one control, and size the two on the sides to fill the gaps:

VB Code:

Me.centerControl.Location = New Point((Me.Width / 2) - (Me.centerControl.Width / 2), (Me.Height / 2) - (Me.centerControl.Height / 2))
Me.leftControl.Width = Me.centerControl.Location.X - 2
Me.rightControl.Width = Me.leftControl.Width - 2

i subtracted 2 from the widths to give some 'breathing room'
pretty simple..Thanks to RobDog for the first line of code

Can't you do all this with the Anchor property?

probably so but using the code above, it resizes in real-time when a user resizes the container control.

just tossing in my little bit of knowledge i gained :)

Fair enough, but Anchor is real time too.
