Dynamically resizing controls

Any idea, how to dynamically resize controls on the form when, the form is
resized, let say maximized? Is there any elegant, logical way to do this

Hi,

You could either Dock and Anchor the controls on the form, or
set the Height/Width properties of the controls relatively when the Form changes size.

Hi UmmagummA,

Like Rakesj Rajan said, you can use Dock and Anchor. If you anchor a control to both left and right it will resize in width as the form changes. Top + Bottom will resize its height.

Happy coding!

I need to display a bunch of pictures that are all of various dimensions into a fixed dimension space, like MSN Messenger does with its user photos in the chat windows. Forcing image dimensions will warp the proportions, so that's no good. Forcing one coordinate while leaving the other flexible will maintain proportions, but the x,y values won't be consistant from picture to picture. I considered the MSN Messenger method of bringing...

I have some old code that I use from the Access 95 Developers handbook. The code works very well, with the exception that it doesn't seem to recognize wide screens, and sizes tab controls so that they are too big and wind up covering up some of the fields on the main form. Is there any good code out there that works in a similar fashion that will also either a) stretch the form width wise on widescreens or b), rely on height rather than...

Hi all, I dynamically create new controls and display them on the form. My problem is that the user has to resize form manually to see controls whose location property points to a point outside the form's area. So can you please show me a way to resize the form after adding a dynamic control so whose Location points to a point outside the form's boundary. So that the control can be displayed without resizing the form manually? Thanks...

Hi, In design mode I built some windows with some controls (e.g. listboxes, labels, chgeck boxes etc.) in it, and I did set the property for the window size is set to normal. Now, when I run my app the first user's action is to maximize the window, but the controls inside the window are not resized simultaneously with my window, resulting in a real meshy window.

Hi, I can't get of the black flicker when I resize my form. this = Mainform : System.Windows.Forms.Form If I set the size from 300 to 500 I see for ca 500ms some black areas. I try to solve it with: this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true); this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true); this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true); this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.ResizeRedraw, true); But it doesn't work.

A lot of users at my workplace use different screen resolutions, and I build apps to use 1680 x 1050 pixels res by default. But some users are using 800 x 600, and the apps are too large for their screen. I used to write code in Java a few years ago (2005), and you could stretch a form with the mouse and all the controls and fonts would resize to larger or smaller size. Does .Net framework 3.5 support this kind of functionality? Or -...
