    display label relative to textbox

    I use a textbox on a sizable form. At the end of the textbox I display a label.
    I want the label to stay at the position at the end of the textbox when I change the size of the form.

    How can I do that?

    Code:
    Label1.Location = New Point(TextBox1.Right - 10, TextBox1.Bittom + 6)
    Use the code in the Form_Resize event handler

    Changed the code a little to:

    Code:
            Label2.Location = New Point(TxtSearch.Right - 20, TxtSearch.Bottom - 16)

    You should note, when setting label locations you can use...

    TxtSearch.Left
    TxtSearch.Right
    TxtSearch.Top
    TxtSearch.Bottom

    Re: display label relative to textbox

    You have left out a significant amount of relevant information but, if the assumptions I'm forced to make are correct, you don't need any code at all. Just use the Anchor properties of the controls. If you set the Anchor of the TextBox to Left, Top and Right and the Anchor of the Label to Top and Right then the TextBox will change its Width with the form and the Label will remain in the position relative to the top-right corner. For more information and an example, follow the CodeBank link in my signature below and check out my thread on Anchor & Dock.
