Yeah, GetColumn/GetPositionFromControl are designed to find where a Control is in the TableLayoutPanel. I don't think there's much that helps you use TLP as just a grid. You will probably need to use GetColumnWidths and GetRowHeights to calculate which col/row was clicked using the mouse coordinates from MouseClick.

We think you have a grid (TableLayoutPanel) with some controls in it (Labels?), and you want to know the column of the grid that a specific Label is in. so if: - lesson is your TableLayoutPanel - mylabel is the Label you want to find the column of you would do: int col = lesson.GetPositionFromControl (mylabel).Column; If this isn't what you are going for, then please explain that and we'll help you out. ;) Jonathan ___ Mono-winforms-list maillist - Mono-winforms-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-winforms-list

If you were setting the column explicitly, it would look roughly like this: TableLayoutPanel tlp = new TableLayoutPanel (); Label l1 = new Label (); Label l2 = new Label (); tlp.SetColumn (l1, 1); tlp.SetRow (l1, 1); tlp.SetColumn (l2, 2); tlp.SetRow (l2, 1); Jonathan ___ Mono-winforms-list maillist - Mono-winforms-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-winforms-list

This would explain why
int col = lesson.GetPositionFromControl((Control)sender).Column; returns -1
(though I'm not sure if (Control)sender is correct, it appears to be
though).
The code I've used for inserting the columns is this
public lessonplan(int noperiods)
{
float periodSize = 100.0F / (float)noperiods;
InitializeComponent();
this.lesson.ColumnCount = noperiods + 1;
this.lesson.ColumnStyles.Add(new
System.Windows.Forms.ColumnStyle(System.Windows.Forms.SizeType.Absolute,
120F));
for (int i = 0; i < noperiods; ++i)
{
this.periodlabel[i] = new
System.Windows.Forms.Label();
this.lesson.ColumnStyles.Add(new
System.Windows.Forms.ColumnStyle(System.Windows.Forms.SizeType.Percent,
periodSize));
this.periodlabel[i].Location = new
System.Drawing.Point(127 + (117 * i),
2);
this.periodlabel[i].Text = "Lesson " + (i +
1).ToString();
this.periodlabel[i].AutoSize = true;
this.periodlabel[i].Font = new
System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 18F,
System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point,
((byte)(0)));
this.periodlabel[i].Size = new
System.Drawing.Size(109, 27);
this.periodlabel[i].TabIndex = i + 6;
this.lesson.Controls.Add(this.periodlabel[i], i
+ 1, 0);
}
Invalidate();
}
This is called when the table is clicked, so it's being set up after the
window is initially set up.
Does this mean that I'm relying on the TLP or something else (which would
also explain the -1)?

Re: [Mono-winforms-list] GetColumn problem
According to the docs for TLP.GetColumn (): --- The column position of the specified child control, or -1 if the position of control is determined by LayoutEngine. To get the actual position of control, even when its position is determined by LayoutEngine, call the GetPositionFromControl method. --- So if you aren't explicitly setting the control's column earlier in code, this will return -1. If you are relying on the TLP to arrange them automatically, you need to use TLP.GetPositionFromControl(). Jonathan PFJ wrote: > Hi, > > I have a tablelayoutpanel called lesson.

[Mono-winforms-list] GetColumn problem
Hi, I have a tablelayoutpanel called lesson. This contains a number of rows and columns. I have a generic mouseclick event attached to it. In the event I want to find the x and y position of the mouse as well as the column. No problems with the x and y position (MousePosition.x and MousePosition.y do the job splendidly), however, I can't seem to get the column number. Currently, my code looks like this int colno = lesson.GetColumn((Control)sender)); (it has had a pile of different things in the place of Control above). When I output colno to a label (for debugging), it always gives -1 irrespective of the column clicked. I'm probably really close, but just can't quite get it right. A little help?
