# TableLayoutPanel

The `TableLayoutPanel` control arranges its contents in a grid. Because the layout is performed both at design time and run time, it can change dynamically as the application environment changes. This gives the controls in the panel the ability to proportionally resize, so it can respond to changes such as the parent control resizing or text length changing due to localization.

Any Wisej.NET control can be a child of the `TableLayoutPanel` control, including other instances of `TableLayoutPanel`. This allows you to construct sophisticated layouts that adapt to changes at runtime.

The `TableLayoutPanel` control can expand to accommodate new controls when they are added, depending on the value of the `RowCount`, `ColumnCount`, and `GrowStyle` properties. Setting either the `RowCount` or `ColumnCount` property to a value of 0 specifies that the `TableLayoutPanel` will be unbound in the corresponding direction.

You can also control the direction of expansion (horizontal or vertical) after the `TableLayoutPanel` control is full of child controls. By default, the `TableLayoutPanel` control expands downward by adding rows.
