I think what you're looking for is the anchor property in design view. Play
around with it, and find how anchoring an object affects the resizing of
the control when the parent control is resized.

Hi Aaron,

Have you looked into the Anchor property? Anchor the Tab Control to all
sides and it will grow and shrink with the Form.

You'll still have to manage the Controls on each Page, but they, in turn,
can be anchored to the Tab Pages.

Generally - Anchor a Control to one side of its Container and it will keep
its position relative to that side. Anchor the Control to both sides (in a
given direction) and it will grow and shrink along with the Container.

Regards,
Fergus

Umm, no that works terribly I ment in code.

So if the Anchor property will not do what you want then exactly what is it
that you want to do?

Hi Aaron,

It's easy to resize the Tab Control when the Form resizes so that it
matches size with the Form, but that's what Anchor. How does Anchor fail for
you when you maximise. Is it the issue of all the other Controls?

Or, putting it another way, your requirement must be something beyond the
simple - what exactly do you want to do?
