Controls overlap

Hello,

I place in a web application some controls: labels, text boxes, buttons.
Labels tend to overlap the text boxes if the text is long and the text box
is not placed far enough from the label.
Is there a good method to determine where to place the controls so
that they do not overlap? Can I program the layout, determining the
length of a label, so that I can move the text box after the label's right
end?

Also to avoid overlapping of labels when text size of the web page is
changed?

Thanks

Hey Dan

Rather use flowlayout when creating web apps. This will allow the controls
etc to scale and resize with the browser. Right click on the web form to
view the property.
