I have a form with a user control inside that has images loaded from reading xml file. I want to know if there is a possibility that user control may expand when the loaded images are consuming more spaces inside the user control that it exceed to the size of the form? Is there a code for making the user control expand and can be navigated inside the form? Help me, Thanks :)

hi yummy,

You remember the example code I showed you for creating the picture boxes? I used a panel as container control - and used AutoScroll.
So Scrolling is the first solution that comes to my mind.
Maybe you can also resize the container (Panel) when adding more pictures. Just Meassure the sizes, sum them up and calculate and assign the new size of the container, then let the user scroll.

As I said. There is another solution involving Paint and Resize event handling. So you have the option to completly control the layout and drawing of your control (but this can be quite complicated).

Before fiddling any longer with your problem, maybe you tell us(me) just what you really want to do?

As far as I remember:

* You read Image-Paths from xml
* You create a Container-Control for all images
* You add the images to the container and layout them

But what you want the user do with the pictures. Is this some kind of thumbnail control, viewer or a picker or what? I guess you can find a lot of good examples for all those kinds of "Picture-Controls"...

Good luck!
