Description

TopBottomSpacing is an Integer property with the number of pixels reserved as spacing between child controls and the top and bottom edges of the Control. For example: When TopBottomSpacing is set to 5 for a Control, the Top property for a child control starts at 5.

The default value for the property is 0 (zero) and indicates that no additional space is reserved on the corresponding edges of the Control. Changing the value for the property causes the Change method to be called to resize/realign child controls. The OnChange event handler is also signalled (when assigned).

TopBottomSpacing also affects control alignment when using Anchors for positioning child controls on a parent.

Use VerticalSpacing to reserve space between vertically adjacent child controls in a column on the tabular Layout.

Use LeftRightSpacing to reserved space on the left and right edges of the Control.
