You would normally set the Anchor property of the TextBox in the designer. That way you can specify any edge or combination of edges from which the control will maintain a constant distance. As the form grows or shrinks, so too the control will grow or shrink to maintain those constant distances. You also have the Dock property if you want the control hard up against an edge or to fill the parent control. If you want more complex layout control than that then you may find you need to use a TableLayoutPanel or FlowLayoutPanel. The VB Express video series (see my signature for a link) has an episode for each.

Hi,

I should do it this way;

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        txtedirot.Size = New Size(500, 50)
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        txtedirot.Size = New Size(50, 250)
    End Sub

You must set the Multiline = true for your Textbox

Hope it helps,

That's also a relatively important point.

based on the code provided by the original poster.. this sounds like the textbox should have its dock property set to fill, and that should give the desired result.

I am just basing that on the fact that their code implies making the textbox the same size as the form....
