When the user maximizes the form, how do i have the objects also resize to fit the form?
Example. if i maximize the form the frame enlarges, but the command buttons dont enlarge they just stay the same size but get reposisitioned on the form when it gets enlarged.
You have to perform a grow routine. If the form width is now three times as large as it was befor it was maximized, then increase the width of a textbox, etc... by the same factor.
This is only in theory, but it sounds right.
Remaining quiet down here !!!

It is right. Same goes for alignment, btw.Originally posted by James Stanich

In vb.net there is dock property when frame size will resize automatically button will resize with respect to frame .but you are out of luck in vb6 .at design time .doing something like that .
Is this in .NET or VB6? ... makes a HUGE difference.... if we're talking about VB6, then you'll need to write a resize routine as previously explained... but in .NETyou can sue a combination of the Anchor and Dock properties to achieve the resizing.

yep ,there is no other option rather than sizing in resize event of form in vb6 .
Thanks for the reply.I am doing it in vb.net.I already tried the dock and anchor properties,but,these are not enough,I also need to verify,calculate, and provide the width and height of the controls like how we do for in the run time...in case of maximized form. I apologize,I had moved this to vb.net forum.I posted it in VB forum as I have seen related previous questions about the controls resize.
