Resize a form & controls on it depending on the screen resolution

Could you tell us what version?

I asume your using VB?

'VB      
Dim x, y as Int32
 x = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Width
y = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Height
Me.Size = New Size(x - 20, y - 20)

//c#
int x = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Width;
int y = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Height;
this.Size = new Size(x - 20, y - 20);

would set your form to 20 pixels less than your resolution in both dimensions. You can use similar logic to change the size of your controls.

Here's another example from vb2005

[code=vb]
Dim a As Rectangle = Screen.PrimaryS creen.WorkingAr ea
'Size form
Me.Width = a.Width
Me.Height = a.Height
'Position form
Me.Top = 0
Me.Left = 0
[/code]

There is also:

Screen.AllScreens

Which gives an array of screens to check for screen resolutions on.


I think there is also a way to tell which screen your window currently resides on, but I cannot seem to find it.
