AcrylicSectionPanel

AcrylicSectionPanel is a specialized AcrylicPanel that includes a distinct header area at the top, allowing for a title or section header text.

Basic Usage

Add AcrylicSectionPanel to your form, set its SectionHeader property, and add child controls to its Controls collection. The child controls will be placed below the header area.

using AcrylicUI.Controls;
using AcrylicUI.Forms;
using AcrylicUI.Resources;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;

public partial class MyForm : AcrylicForm
{
    public MyForm()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        var sectionPanel = new AcrylicSectionPanel
        {
            Location = new Point(20, 50),
            Size = new Size(300, 200),
            SectionHeader = "User Details", // Set the header text
            // Icon = Icons.User_16x // Optional: Set an icon for the header
        };
        Controls.Add(sectionPanel);

        // Add controls within the section panel's content area
        var nameLabel = new AcrylicLabel
        {
            Text = "Name:",
            Location = new Point(10, 10) // Position relative to panel's content area
        };
        sectionPanel.Controls.Add(nameLabel);

        var nameTextBox = new AcrylicTextBox
        {
            Location = new Point(nameLabel.Right + 5, 8),
            Width = 180
        };
        sectionPanel.Controls.Add(nameTextBox);
    }
}
