Set top, left from code

[klasse]

Hi,

I am trying to design a form similar to a tree structure.
Then I have

My Database
|_products
|_provider

I want to click on products and I should have

My Database
|_products
| |
| |_add new product
| |_edit a product
| |_view all products
|
|_provider

Now, is there anyway to place the boxes from code? and if so, does it have something to do with the resolution used?

Thanks,

Klasse

Klasse,
There is a TreeView control that you might want to look into, it would save alot of work here.

But to answer your question, yes, you can set the .Left, .Top properties (along with Width/Height) to do very roughly approximate the treeview. If you get an algorithm down for where you want the controls in relation to another, then you can codify it, and when coupled with a naming convention for the controls (ie, use a numeric suffix or something of the like--think *ahead* on this aspect) you can wrap alot of the logic in loops rather than having a distinct block for each control.
