Represents a winforms container that dynamically lays out its contents horizontally or vertically.

Represents a winforms container that dynamically lays out its contents horizontally or vertically very similar to the Java flowlayout containers.

To add controls, you use the Controls property:

flowLayout1.Controls.Add(ctrl); // add a ctrl to the collection

To adjust spacing between the controls, use the control's Margin property:

ctrl.Margin = new Padding(10);
flowLayout1.Controls.Add(ctrl);
