Detecting screen resolution and resizing forms and objects, fonts etc to suit

I need to be able to detect different screen resolutions and then
resize my applications objects to suit.
Any ideas how to go about it?
I use VB 5.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Dreamer,

When you was using VB.net I would say have a look at the dock and the anchor
properties, however now I think the best thing you can do for VB5 is asking
this in a newsgroup from

microsoft.dotnet.vb* there are more

I hope you find your solution.
