I want to load books from a database to a FlowLayoutPanel in a Forms app
(this part works fine), but if I enable autoscroll the scroll bar appears, but only for a split second when the library databse is loading into the flowLayoutPanel and then its not scrollable.
Here is the code that fills in the books into the flowLayoutPanel:

private Panel CreateBookPanel(Book book)
{
    Panel bookPanel = new Panel
    {
        Width = 200,
        Height = 250,
        Margin = new Padding(10),
        BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle,
        Tag = book // Store the book object for easy retrieval
    };

    bookPanel.Click += BookPanel_Click;

    PictureBox coverPictureBox = new PictureBox
    {
        Width = 180,
        Height = 120,
        SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.Zoom,
        Dock = DockStyle.Top,
    };
    coverPictureBox.Load(book.ImageURL);
    coverPictureBox.Click += BookPanel_Click;

    Label titleLabel = new Label
    {
        Text = book.BookName,
        AutoSize = false,
        Width = bookPanel.Width,
        Height = 40,
        TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter,
        Dock = DockStyle.Top
    };
    titleLabel.Click += BookPanel_Click;

    Label authorLabel = new Label
    {
        Text = "Author: " + book.AuthorName,
        AutoSize = false,
        Width = bookPanel.Width,
        Height = 20,
        TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter,
        Dock = DockStyle.Top
    };
    authorLabel.Click += BookPanel_Click;

    bookPanel.Controls.Add(coverPictureBox);
    bookPanel.Controls.Add(titleLabel);
    bookPanel.Controls.Add(authorLabel);

    return bookPanel;
}

I tried adding the scroll bar separately and linking it to the flowLayoutPanel somehow, but it did not help at all.
