Autosize hides base UserControl

I want a Form to be resized proportionaly to it's content, so I have set AutoSize property to true in GrowAndShrink mode.

I have a base Form that contains a panel in which there is two bttons:

BaseServiceWindow

And another Form that inherits from it:

Another form that inherits from BaseServiceWindow

The problem is that panel containing the two buttons in BaseServiceWindow seems not to be taken in account when using the Autosize property. The result is as you can see: I cannot use the buttons from BaseServiceWindow. Any advice would be appreciated.

In your BaseServiceWindow form, create a second panel that fills the area above the panel with the two buttons. You will use this new panel to contain a UserControl.

Then, instead of creating forms that inherit from BaseServiceWindow, make them UserControls instead. Create an base UserControl class for your UserControls to inherit from and include virtual methods for the common behavior.

Finally, inject the UserControl into BaseServiceWindow. You could have the BaseServiceWindow constructor accept the BaseUserControl type each of your UserControls inherits.
