resizing (difficult 'cause it involves the line control)

Hi,

As I'm sure a lot of you know there seems to be a lot of difficulty in resizing a form with the line control on it, for some reason. I did a search and found a cool tip by Karl Moore or someone but at the end of course it had to say, 'Works with all except the Line control).

So basically I have a form1 with line controls on it. Does anybody know, and how, I could have these controls resized to fit my form proportionately, when I drag the boundaries of my form to make it biggere or smaller?

Thanks for any help!

listen...i also recently had the same problem .
my problem was / and still remains , is that i'm programing in a 1024-768 resulotion and my application looks too god damn huge in a 800-600 resulotion...

so i had this code which solved it all :


Private Function ResizeSomeForm()
Dim i As Integer
ReDim con(1 To 40)
For Each ctrl In Controls
i = i + 1
On Error Resume Next
con(i) = Round(Main.ScaleWidth / ctrl.FontSize, 0)
Next ctrl

Main.Move Screen.Width / (1024 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX) * Main.Left, _
Screen.Height / (768 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelY) * Main.Top, _
Screen.Width / (1024 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX) * Main.Width, _
Screen.Height / (768 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelY) * Main.Height

For Each ctrl In Controls
ctrl.Move Screen.Width / (1024 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX) * ctrl.Left, _
Screen.Height / (768 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelY) * ctrl.Top, _
Screen.Width / (1024 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX) * ctrl.Width, _
Screen.Height / (768 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelY) * ctrl.Height
Next ctrl

i = 0

For Each ctrl In Controls
i = i + 1
ctrl.FontSize = Round(Main.ScaleWidth / con(i))
Next ctrl

End Function


'though the drive box control didn't resize from some reason...

i hope this code i gave you helped you...
you said you have a code which have resized the controls , can you tell what was it?

Dealman,

I tried your code but it didn't work - well it made my command button shrink until it disappeared, but that wasn't what I wanted.

But I discovered a ton of resize code at planet-source-code.com. Just type resiz in the search facility, and you'll see what I mean.
