Dynamic panel resize

[kikx]

Hello

I have a paint program created in C#/GDI, it's supposed to draw shapes or draw with a pen freely (and be able to change pen width and color). So far I have managed to create such a program which draws on a panel using MouseUp/Down/Move events. But there is something I cannot resolve (even though I'll bet it's so simple to solve I'll look stupid), when I maximize the window, the panel is also resized (as I have docked it) but I can only draw on a portion of it which was the same size as the window when the program started (800x400 approx.). I would like to be able to resize the panel along with the window, so that no matter how big the window is I can draw on the whole surface of the panel.

I hope I have made enough sense.

Thank you in advance!

Source code available if needed.

What type of application are you working with?
A WinForms application or a WPF application?

It's a winform application.

Not sure if it will work, but you should try it.

Try undocking the panel and resize it programmly when the form being resized.

You could always not allow it to be maximized

@Grim, using your advice, that would be something to this effect?:

private void Form1_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            panel1.Size = new Size(this.Width, this.Height);
        }
