C# WinForm中TableLayoutPanel单元格无法自适应动态内容问题

我正在开发一个C# Windows Form搜索窗口，支持添加任意数量的过滤器——通过动态生成Label和TextBox配对组件供用户输入筛选条件，结果展示在DataGridView中。

预期UI效果：
顶部垂直排列多组Label与TextBox配对的过滤器控件，所有控件完整显示无截断；中间区域是展示搜索结果的DataGridView；底部是搜索、清除操作按钮，整体布局随控件数量自适应调整。

当前问题：添加多个过滤器时，顶部的Label/TextBox配对区域无法自适应内容，仅能正常显示3组控件，其余被截断。已将对应行设置为AutoSize，但单元格仍无法适配内容，求原因及解决办法。

问题原因及修复方案 #

问题根源

1. filterUI未开启AutoSize：仅设置AutoSizeMode但未启用AutoSize = true，导致布局面板不会根据内部控件自动调整自身高度。
2. filterUI的Dock设置冲突：将filterUI.Dock设为Fill后，它会强制填满外层TableLayoutPanel的第一行空间，而外层第一行的RowStyle是AutoSize，两者逻辑冲突，限制了filterUI的扩展。
3. 外层outer的AutoSize与Dock冲突：outer同时设置AutoSize = true和Dock = DockStyle.Fill，导致布局逻辑混乱——AutoSize要求面板随内容调整，Dock.Fill要求填满父容器，两者无法同时生效。

修复步骤

1. 给filterUI添加AutoSize = true：

filterUI.AutoSize = true;
filterUI.AutoSizeMode = AutoSizeMode.GrowAndShrink;

2. 移除filterUI的Dock设置，让它根据自身内容决定大小：

// 删除或注释此行
// filterUI.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

3. 调整外层outer的属性，取消AutoSize并保留Dock.Fill：

outer.AutoSize = false;
outer.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

4. （可选）处理大量过滤器场景：
   如果过滤器数量过多导致窗体高度超限，可以将filterUI放入带滚动条的Panel中：

Panel filterPanel = new Panel();
filterPanel.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
filterPanel.AutoScroll = true;
filterPanel.Controls.Add(filterUI);
// 替换原有的outer.Controls.Add(filterUI, 0, 0);
outer.Controls.Add(filterPanel, 0, 0);
