    Form Size

    I created a form using 1024*768 res. Is there a way in vb.net to tell the
    frm to 'adjust' it's size for say 800*600, or is it supposed to do this
    automatically? I run the form on a couple of 800*600 res screens and part of
    the form is hidden.
    I remember a resize.ocx for vb6 forms, but I was hoping vb.net would have a
    built in way of doing it.
    Thanks
    BUC

      Hi,

      Why not simply set the Form WindowState property to "Maximized" ? It
      would then cover the full screen whatever your screen resolution is.

      Regards,

      Cerebrus.

          Maximized doesn't stop my controls from running off the side of the screen
          in 800*600 mode

              Have a look at the Anchor and Dock properties.

                  Always design for the smallest monitor resolution you intend to support.
                  Use the Anchor and Dock properties on each control to take advantage
                  of "larger" screens. If you're going down the inherited Form route, I've
                  found overriding the OnLayout methods more reliable for resizing and
                  repositioning controls.

                  HTH,
                  Phill W.
