Hello World!

I'm talking about how to center a control in the middle of the form when the form is resized.

I have.

lblTitle

on my form.

When the

form is resized,

I'd like to put the title right in the middle

horizontaly.

Let me move this over.

To the edge.

If we're going to center it,

We want the width of the form

Minus.

The width of the label.

This amount here then

Is the white space.

That's what we get when we subtract the width of the label [correction]

from the width of the form [correction].

Let's call it white space.

ThenI could divide that by two.

And make that

The x value for the label.

It should be centered.

I want to do this...

when the

form is resized.

So I'm going to this event button,

down here,

And we have a resize event.

When did double click on that and let's declare a variable,

These are integers.

I'm going to do this one

step at a time. You need to refer to form1 or this: this is the form.

We have the width.

Minus.

lblTitle.width,  now I'm going to set lblTitle.

[dot] . location is a new Point.

And I want to use left.

as the X value,and I don't want the Y value to change.

So I'm going to do lblTitle.

Location.Y

And let's run that. Now the form load event is also resizing it, because it goes from nothing to whatever size you see here.

Let's resize it:

And you can see it's center: one letter on the left is off

the form and one letter on the right off the form.

That's it!
