Programmatically change the .Location, .Width, .Height properties.
Handle the Form.SizeChanged event
then resize/relocate the controls with something like

myTabpage.width = this.width - 40;
myTabpage.height = this.height - 100;

etc.

the post by tlhintoq was cool enough but why to increase the lines of code when there are built in properties for doing that....

Select the tabControl and in the properties window
go to the Property named Anchor...
and from the drop down select right,left,top,bottom or wherever you want it to extend with the form....it happens automatically...
cheers.....
you can save those 2 lines of code...

I'm used to repositioning and resizing many controls based on the layout of the form. If it a certain default size (portrait in shape) then the user shrinks the height and widens it out, some controls move up and to the right for an example.

Besides, for someone learning I think its good to learn the details and not just straight to the things that do the work for them. First learn to drive a stick shift. Then later learn there is such a thing as automatic transmission.
