    How do I write a resize event for my program?

    Hello everyone,
    Well my program is finally pretty much finished but now I want to write a resize event for it so that it looks good with all different resolutions. How would I go about doing this?
    Any Tips are appreciated
    Thanks!
    Eric

    Would you be able to simply set all the sizes and positions of the controls as a percentage of the form?

    Do you know that you won't be able to set the height of a combobox?

    But you could modify the font size to enlarge it...

    Anyway, font sizes are "discret" values. You might need a "medium" size which you cannot get it using a larger font.

    I know what you mean. What if you needed a fontsize of 8.63 to get the proper height?

    Well

    No resize is perfect, not from what I've seen. The best you can hope for is approximate...
