How to disable horizontal scroll bar in FlowLayoutPanel?

Question

I have a FlowLayoutPanel and there are multiple controls on it. I only want to scroll in vertical direction. But when I set AutoScroll = true, I got both Vertical and Horizontal Scroll bars. How could I disable the horizontal scroll bar and only keep the vertical scroll bar working?

Answer 1

• Set AutoScroll to true
• Set WrapContents to false.
• Make sure the size is wider than the controls' width plus the width of a vertical scrollbar.

The horizontal scrollbar should disappear. If it doesn't, please provide some more information.

Thanks for this! Just now I play with it and I find if I set flowDirection=leftToRight, flowlayoutPanel.HorizontalScroll.Visible = false, wrapContents = true. It works...So there is multiple way to do this? Thank you anyway! :) – Swage

I have noticed that enabling WrapContents (with LeftToRight flow) will create "line feeds" and thus never needing any horizontal scroll bar. actually I dont like that, I want a WrapContents to false, but I still want FlowBreak property to work, to control manually the line feeds. However this doesn't work. FlowBreak property is ignored, by a sheer bug of that control, if WrapContents is false. booh microsoft. yet again. – Colonel

I am using WrapContents. To achieve the result I want, I have enclosed my FlowLayoutPanel in a Panel control, then I set the Panel's AutoScroll to true, the FlowLayoutPanel's autoscroll to false, and it works! – Hotshot

Answer 2

Set AutoScroll to true. Set WrapContents to false. Set Padding Right to 10.

It's work pretty fine for me.

I thought "no way, it can't work", but yeah, the padding right made trick :S – Astrix

This trick worked. Only thing is, based on child control's font size you will have to adjust padding. – Lowbrow

how about disabling the verticalscrollbar instead of the horizontalscrollbar needed? @Yardage ? – Eldreeda

Answer 3

Here is how I implement to have multiple labels on a FlowLayoutPanel with wrap text(WrapContents = true), verticalscrollbar only.

1. I have a flowLayoutPanel1 on a form
2. Set properties of form and flowLayoutPanel1 like below:

form:

AutoScroll = True
FormBorderStyle = Sizable(default)

flowLayoutPanel1:

Anchor = Top, Left, Right
AutoSize = True
FlowDirection = TopDown
WrapContents = true

3. Implement this code on form class for testing

int coorY = 0;
        public Form2()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
            {
                flowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(new Label 
                { 
                    Location = new Point(0, coorY + 20),
                    Font = new Font("Segoe UI", 10f),
                    Text = "I have a FlowLayoutPanel and there are multiple controls on it. I only want to scroll in vertical",
                    Width = flowLayoutPanel1.Width,
                    AutoSize = true
                });
                coorY += 20;
            }
        }
