Moving panels on button press C#


I'm confused as to how I can accomplish this. I want to press the buttons and then the bottom panels go to the top and then open, if that makes sense.

This is essentially what I have https://i.sstatic.net/adLoQ.png

And I only have the basic code for button clicks

private void CP_OneFbutton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

Any ideas guys?


Solution

  • To do this you need to change Panel's Location property like this:

    panel1.Location = new Point(X,Y);
    

    If you don't know exact coordinates,then you can handle Form MouseMove event (temporarily)

     private void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            label1.Text = e.X + "," + e.Y;
        }
    

    Move mouse to the location where you want to panel move and note coordinates, then handle button click event and change panel's location

    private void CP_OneFbutton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           panel1.Location = new Point(X,Y); // type your X and Y coordinates here
           panel1.Visible = true; // Display the panel
        }
