I have a C# 4.0 Winform app, the main form of which is visually divided in half: a TreeView on the left (for navigation of data) and a FlowLayoutPanel on the right. The contents of the FlowLayoutPanel changes based on user interaction (mainly with the TreeView).
The content to be shown in the FlowLayoutPanel is comparmentalized into a number of "blocks" - some are UserControls whilst others (I'm embarrassed to say) are Panels containing various Controls.
My issue is that the number of "blocks" is now too many to see in the Visual Studio form designer, and I can't make the form large enough to see them all; this makes it hard to verify how the UI will look without running it.
How can I manage the contents of the FlowLayoutPanel so that I can see all of the controls, or am I going about it wrong?
While in the designer, make sure you have AutoScroll property set to true, which will enable you to scroll the FlowLayoutPanel child controls while in the designer view.
