Hi
This is propably easy to answer but how do I make sure that my controls
stay in a certain area of my form. Right now if I maximize my form the
controls will stay in their original position and the form will expand
all around it, how can I make my controls stay, say in the bottom right
corner no matter the size of the form and the resolution of the monitor?
Thanks

Take a look at the Anchor property of the controls. This will allow you to
'anchor' your controls in a particular position on the form. If you set the
Anchor property to Top, your control will be anchored to the top of the form
no matter the size of the form. Similarly, if you set the property to Bottom
Or Left (since these are bit flags), the control will be anchored to the
bottom left of the form. Based on your requirements, a particular
combination of the flags should work for you.
hope that helps..

Take a look at the controls' 'Anchor' and 'Dock' properties, and the form's
'Scale' property. If you are looking for implementations of layout managers
like in Java, have a look here:

In 2003 VS.NET, I can drag a label control to design view, then I can move
the label control around. But in 2005 VS.NET, I cannot move the label
control around in design view after I drag a label control from toolbox.
What kind of setting I need to in order to move controls around in design
view? Thanks in advance!

In VS.NET 2003, we can use CTL+ArrowKey to Move controls placed in the form or CTL+SHIFT+ArrowKey to adjust the size of controls. And the minimun step is one pixel, it is very terrible if you wanna change the position of a control a lot. i.e from the left corner to the bottom:)
So is there any way to set the step of moving or adjusting , Say, 4 pixel or another settign.

Hi all
I am using form's ResizeEnd event to adjust some GUI staff on my form.
But when user maximizes the form, this event is not fired.
Theoretically, I could use Resize or SizeChanged events to catch when form
is maximized (or normalized from maximized state) but then I loose all
advantages provided by ResizeEnd because those two events are fired way to
often ...
Is there other way to add kind of "Maximize" / "Normalize" events...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
