Usually there are problems fitting buttons next to datagrids or listboxes when trying to imply that those buttons add functionality to the datagrid or listbox.

❌ Figure: Bad Example - This form places the Add and Delete buttons in the top right.

Figure: Buttons aligned vertically, however they cut off useful information in the datagrid (Better)

✅ Figure: Good Example - Buttons align horizontally at the bottom right of the grid which provides plenty of room for then needed information
