FlowLayoutPanel limitations

Question

Hi. I've found a very disconcerting limitation with the FlowLayoutPanel object in .net 2.0. When enough objects are added to the panel, it stops displaying them. It will create the space to scroll to them but it just stops showing them.

Is there anything I can do to make them show up or should I get off my hiney and make my own flowlayout panel?

Thanks in advance,

Liam Johnstone

While I don't know why FlowLayoutPanel stops painting controls after a certain point I found that attaching an event handler to Scroll with FlowLayoutPanel.PerformLayout(); will work. Seems pretty obvious to me looking back. Ah well...
