    Sizable forms...

    Ya know, in the 14+ years i've been around VB(Self Taught), i've made apps for personal use, for resale, and for some larger companies(around my area)...

    and not once have I made an app that was sizable..

    I always set the controls, lock the height/width, and call it a day.


    How do you guys handle your sizable forms? any tricks/tips? Links to a good source for example?

    Thanks!

    I have always managed to get by with anchoring, when I have needed it.

    If you feel that you could use an example, follow the CodeBank link in my signature and check out my thread on Using Dock & Anchor.
