Auto Resize form elements

32
Hi,

I have a form with two rich text boxes and two buttons. Some of the users want to be able to maximize and/or resize the form and have the rich text boxes resize to fit and the buttons always stay close to the right side border.

Any tips on how I could do this? Maximizing and resizing have already been enabled. The effect now is that when you resize smaller, the text boxes and buttons go out of sight (depending on which side you resize from). If you maximize or resize larger, they don't change at all.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi

If you are using vb .net, you can simply set the anchor property of each control tp define the edges of the container.

In vb 6.0 you can also do this under the form's resize event.
