Hello,
I am want to Resize my form and form controls based on the users resolution.
For example :- i am making this application in 1024x768. it obviously works and looks well too me but when my user runs this application on his pc it looks horrible and wierd because his Resolution is 800x600.
I found a snippet on this forum to resize the window but that just isn't what i'm looking for - i want the controls and form both to resize depending on the user resolution. Like if the user has a 800x600 and the app was made with 1024x768 it should automatically resize the form and its form controls to fit on the screen.
Could some one help me with this i am really lost :( in this form i also saw some one saying to use % sign to assign size to form and its elements but i tried this and it doesn't work :s it says its invalid.
I am using VB.net - Visual Studio 2005 - PLZ Help :(
Thank you,
Regards,

This is going to be difficult, because you want server code to respond to client conditions.
Some or all of this will need to be done in Javascript, like detecting the size of the window, and probably resizing the controls as well. We have a javascript forum that you can try for help on this.

Unless this is a windows application, in which case it *could* be much easier.
Although 800x600 should have gone away along time ago. I can't even MAKE my computers do that resolution anymore
Good call Plater. I assumed that this was web based.
Thanks for tips guys
But it isn't a Web Application
It a Windows Application sorry i wasnt very specific on the issue, its a windows app i'm not sure about there but currently here where i am many people are using this resolution.. i dont but still 800x600 is an example.
To more simple - i want my app to automatically resize the form size to fit the current resolution and that includes the form controls too :( i'm postive its possible since many other apps i seen have this feature.
I'm not sure how to accomplish this though :(
But you guys are pretty lucky :) having all those cool PCs and all the other technologies at your fingertips - when things become old there it arrives here :( i hope things get much more faster here soon :)
Thank you!
Regards
not sure if this is any use but this resizes 3 buttons and moves them so that they line up on the right so I have posted it in case you can use some of it -

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

For Each x As System.Windows.Forms.Button In Me.Controls

tempx = x.Size.Width

One approach to this is to check out Screen.PrimaryS creen.Bounds.He ight/Width. This will show you the total area, minus the task bar, of your monitor (resolution), or if you want just the form, you could just check out Height/Width. Upon resizing, you would have to check what the current height and width is, and then would have to just specify a constant value for the portion of the screen you want it to take, and find an event that's called every time this should change (in particular, ReSize).

I *think* if you build your controls with anchoring and such, much of the position-resizing will be automatic when you change the size of the form.
As for changing widget size, that might require some math.
Hi,
Thanks for all the help and support guys :)
Thanks for the code jg007, really appreciate it. - i can't seem to get it to work in my app.
I also can't understand Anchor property :( it just says left / top / right / bottom.
I have 1 TAB, 2 Buttons, 2 Panel, 2 Picture Box, 1 MultiLine Textbox, 1 Progressbar :(

Is there any good code out there that works in a similar fashion that will

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.
