How to remove space taken by an invisible PictureBox

[Matthew Hile]

I have a stack of picture boxes which grab a static image based on the value of the field. If the value of a field is < a certain value I set Visible = False. However, there is an empty space where the (now) invisible picture box would have been placed. I suspect this is because the Location for the next box is hard coded.

Is there a way to eliminate that blank space?

Thanks,

Matthew

Hi Matthew Hile,

When an item is hidden, the default behavior is to move all of the items below to an upper position. However if you hide an item that is on the same Y axis as the hidden one, the items below will move to that item and will not be able to move on upper position. Check out the referenced forum thread that includes a sample report to demonstrate the described behavior: Toggle.Visibility does not collapse the white space

Best wishes,

Thanks, I finally got the space to disappear when I placed the PictureBox within a panel. (Making the picture box invisible did not work.) I do not think I had a Y axis placement issue because the panel takes the same position as the PictureBox.

So is the trick placing them in a Panel?

Hello Matthew,

The Panel is a container item that can grow to accommodate its children whenever necessary and it also separates the location dependency of items. So this is a possible and valid solution.
