Painting in TableLayout

Question

How can I paint (fill with green for example) at a specific cell in a Tablelayout? Thanks.

Answer 1

I added Textboxes to every cell in an existing TableLayout and then made one cell green.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        TableLayoutPanel1.Visible = True
        Dim newRowStyle As RowStyle = New RowStyle()
        newRowStyle.SizeType = SizeType.Absolute
        newRowStyle.Height = 30
        
        ' Add controls to the new row
        Dim row As Integer
        Dim column As Integer
        For row = 0 To (TableLayoutPanel1.RowCount - 1)
            For column = 0 To (TableLayoutPanel1.ColumnCount - 1)
                Dim textBox As TextBox = New TextBox()
                textBox.Text = String.Format("TextBox({0}, {1}) ", column, row)
                TableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(textBox, column, row)
            Next column
        Next row
        Dim rownumber = 2
        Dim colnumber = 3
        Dim cell As Control = _
           TableLayoutPanel1.GetControlFromPosition(colnumber, rownumber)
        cell.BackColor = Color.Green
    End Sub

Answer 2

Can I use the Paint method instead of that?

Answer 3

See if this link helps.  It is in C#, but the method is rather simple to convert.
