I heard of a magical ocx that
resizes every form to fit the
screen .. like directx or
something like that.
Could someone give me that
ocx?

VideoSoft - VSVBX is the best one. Isn't cheap but worth the purchase.

Another way of doing it is to set the Form to the scrrent Screen's Height and Width. This is done by using the Screen object.
Another way is to set the Form's WindowState to maximized.Code:Private Sub Form_Resize()
Me.Left = 0
Me.Top = 0
Me.Height = Screen.Height
Me.Width = Screen.Width
End Sub
You dont understand.
I need a way to resize the pictures,
Text boxes.. EVERYTHING.
Not just the form.
Use a For Each loop and resize everything to fit the screen.
Code:Dim MyObj As Object
For Each MyObj In Controls
MyObj.Move 0, 0
MyObj.Width = Screen.Width
MyObj.Height = Screen.Height
Next MyObj
'-->module routines
Option Explicit
Private Type ControlsSizes
csTop As Single
csLeft As Single
csWidth As Single
csHeight As Single
End Type
Private AllControls() As ControlsSizes
'-->form rotuines
Private Sub Form_Initialize()
Dim counta As Integer
ReDim Preserve AllControls(Controls.Count - 1)
For counta = 0 To Controls.Count - 1
With AllControls(counta)
.csTop = Controls(counta).Top / ScaleHeight
.csLeft = Controls(counta).Left / ScaleWidth
.csWidth = Controls(counta).Width / ScaleWidth
.csHeight = Controls(counta).Height / ScaleHeight
End With
Next
End Sub
Private Sub Do_Resize()
Dim counta As Integer
For counta = 0 To Controls.Count - 1
With AllControls(counta)
Controls(counta).Move .csLeft * ScaleWidth, .csTop * ScaleHeight, .csWidth * ScaleWidth, .csHeight * ScaleHeight
End With
Next
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Resize()
Do_Resize
End Sub

' * This class can change size and location of controls On your form
' * 1. Resize form
' * 2. Change screen resolution
' * Assumes:1. Add Elastic.cls
' * 2. Add declaration 'Private El as New class_Elastic'
' * 3. Insert string like 'El.init Me' (formload event)
' * 4. Insert string like 'El.FormResize Me' (Resize event)
' * 5. Press 'F5' and resize form ....

I didn't think this is what Dayo312 meant (I could be wrong)
Dayo312 mentioned DirectX resizing so I got the impression that he meant change the screen rez to match the form (thus making the form "bigger")
Like when you have a DirectX game which actually runs in 640x480 and your screen is running at 1024x768, the screen goes black, resizes then displays the 640x480 game full screen. Where the actualy size of everything increases but the co-ord positions stay the same. Pixel size is what changes
Or I'm miss reading the question... in which case please ignore me
Oh, BTW, I have no idea how to do it :D
