Finished project tried running on other computer, half misses off screen.
Ok i got my application, put it on my other computer which has a smaller screen. And i have my controls in a panel but it still gets them chopped off by the screen.
the part highlighted in yellow is the bit that gets missed off, what can i do here as i still want the search to be on the right.
How can i make the controls fit in the screen even on a smaller screen.

Hey,
You need to make sure that you are using the Anchor and Dock properties of the controls correctly:

Also, perhaps think about defaulting your form to maximized, rather than a hard coded width and height.

Anchor those controls to the Right and Top sides only.

When you say hard coded size what do you mean, i just have it this size in the designer and thats all
Re: Finished project tried running on other computer, half misses off screen.
And what size is that?
If the other computer has a resolution that is smaller than this size, then it will go off the edge of the screen.

yes the other screen is smaller than that, but if i made it smaller i wouldn't be able to put things where i wanted them would i?

Did you read the article that I linked to?
It contains everything you need. A combination of docking and anchoring your controls.

Hello,
I have just tried to reproduce this, but I have not been able to.
What other controls do you have on the form? Can you open the Document Outline Window (View | Other Windows | Document Outline) and show a screen shot of it?
You might also want to think about using a ToolStripContainer.
