FlowLayoutPanel for Compact Framework

I noticed that the FlowLayoutPanel does not exist in the .net compact
framework. I need to take a dataset and use it to add buttons to the
appropriate tab of a TabControl object.

This works great in the full framework: Add a docked FlowLayoutPanel
and then loop through your buttons and add them to the panel. If there
are a lot, it just scrolls nicely.

Does anybody know about a workaround for this in Compact framework? I
suppose I could always keep track of where the last button has been
placed, and then add the new button a few pixels below, but that limits
flexibilty. If I wanted to make the buttons flow to the right and then
down, I would need to recode.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
