Hey guys, I've decided on a new project to do over summer, but I've hit a roadblock in my planning.
Basically, I want to make a program that lets me really easily budget for my next year, with a really simple output. I made my parents a spreadsheet in excel a while ago and it went straight over their heads, so I'm basically aiming to make a much easier to understand version of that, that they could use.
Before I jump into the programming, I want to get the layout sorted, but my problem with visual studio forms is that I've no idea how to make their positioning dynamic without some really awkward, long winded programming.
And I remember that in the Unity game engine, their new GUI had options to have a panel of a fixed size, that could contain a variable amount of values inside it, which would shift down if something new was added, or possibly resize to fill it, etc (for things like scoreboards).
So, my question is, does a feature like this exist in Visual Studio?
If you need an example, here is my extremely shoddy mockup of how I want it to look. What I want, is for the user to be able to add more outgoings, that would add the the queue under the current ones, then push the horizontal line and everything under it down. Can this be done using the form controls that I don't understand whatsoever, or will this require programming?
