How do you resize a form in VB. Basically when user drag the form to minimise or maximise, it will resize all the components inside the form.
Probably depends on what version of VB you are using. But generally, the same way you set the size at any other time - by adjusting the Top/Left/Width/Height properties, using the .Move method, or whatever. It's up to you to decide where you want them.
You might also try searching TheScripts for the terms VB and ELASTIC together. There is a class of controls known as "elastic" controls which help to automate this kind of thing.

public cw as integer = control.width
control.width = form.width - cw
same goes to height

Hi,
Re-sizing the Controls inside the Form, is not a very good Idea. as When you Decrease/Increase the Size of Cotrols, Correspondingly , the Font Size should also decrease/Increase, this may give your form a Clums- Cluttered Look. May be you can just make the Form with fixed set of say 3-4 sizes, and allow users to choose from them.

I am using a nested table to control different elements of my layout.
The problem I have is that I create the outer table and set the size
properties to what I want them to be, then, if I put another table
into the first cell, when I resize that nested table, it automatically
resizes the other cells also. If I do the same type of thing in
Dreamweaver, this doesn't happen. Is there a setting of some sort in
..NET that I can turn off to...

I have a form with a listview, a menu, and a few text boxes, labels and

hard. For one thing, I initialized some values in the form's Load event,
and I'm doing the control resizing in the form's Resize...

I have created a windows application in which the form needs to be
resized on the MouseMove event. The windows resize function takes a lot
of CPU cycles. And as the resize function is called on the MouseMove,
the form is resized around a 30-100 times in one second. This leads to
a high CPU utilization and all other application comes to a stand
still.
The form does not have any controls i.e. buttons, text boxes etc. It is

Did a search & found nothing on this. VB6 did a resize on form load
according to what I've read. I Resized screen under vista & now the text
box doesn't resize to form's clientarea. Code exists under
form1.resize_click
Works when I resize the form and also when I include a call to resize under
form load event
Is this due to vs2005, vista or some other querk?

Is there some piece of code that will make subforms resize automatically according to the amount of records displayed?
For example my main form just contains artist names. Subform1 contains albums. Some artists have 2 albums, some have 20. It looks stupid to have a subform resized manually and made huge when it is only filled up with records sometimes, depending on who is selected in the main form.
Thanks

Hello folks,
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.
