Resolution Resize

[Ellis Yu]

Dear all,

In vb6, I'll do it by getting the ratio between the resolution
setting in screen and in design mode. Afterward, adjust each control's
position and size with the ratio according to the control type. Is there any
other way do it in .Net? Thanks

Take a look at the form's 'Scale' method.

Ellis,
In addition to the form's Scale method, you can use AutoScale = true & the
form will take care of it for you (I've hadn't had any real problems with
AutoScale, however I've seen reports other's have).

Charles Petzold's book "Programming Microsoft Windows With Microsoft Visual
Basic .NET - Core Reference" from MS Press includes a section on how
AutoScale & Scale works. Plus gives code & explains how to do your own
scaling...

Hope this helps

Thanks Jay, but it seems not work in my case. When I change the resolution
from 600*480 to 1024*768, the screen layout can't retain the same as
600*480. It'll get smaller b4 change. And I found the default setting in
Form already marked to "True". And also, I try some code given from the Web
as below

Dim sf as SizeF

sf = Me.GetAutoScaleSize(me.Font)
Me.AutoScaleBaseSize = sf.ToSize

But it still don't work. It's so strange.

Ellis,
As I stated Charles' book explains how it works.

I have a busy weekend, I will try to work up an example later...

Hope this helps

But I don't know why it remains the same even I call the method ".Scale" and
the autoscale is set to true
