StackLayoutPanel
Arranges child elements into a single line that can be oriented horizontally or vertically.
StackLayoutPanel provides sophisticated linear layout functionality, allowing elements to be arranged either horizontally or vertically. It supports advanced features including element wrapping when space is exceeded, equal sizing modes, forced element dimensions, and specialized strip mode behavior.
Key capabilities include:
- Horizontal and vertical orientation support with automatic layout direction
- Element wrapping to new rows or columns when available space is exceeded
- Equal sizing modes for creating uniform element dimensions
- Right-to-left layout support with automatic content alignment adjustment
- Strip mode for single-line layouts without wrapping behavior
- Collapse elements on resize for responsive layout behavior
This layout panel is extensively used in toolbars, button panels, menu bars, ribbon controls, and other UI areas where elements need linear arrangement with intelligent space management. The panel automatically handles content alignment, element spacing, and responsive behavior across different screen sizes and orientations.
