Form Design

[Dorothy]

Iam designing an app with a varied arrangemnt of controls.
When I open up my under a differnet pixel setting(1024X768)
the app looks awry with overlapping controls.

I do have a solution for it.
Like relatively positioning all the controls in the Form's
Activate event
eg:
rtb1.Width = Screen.Width / 1.695
rtb1.Height = Screen.Height / 1.26
imgdes.Move 230 + rtb1.Width, 180, Screen.Width - rtb1.Width - 230, rtb1.Height

My question is there a better way of doing this.?

There are different methods, of resizing you can look at, but for the most part, I think you are on the right track.

Did you get it from this site? If so, it's probably the tutorial called Creating Odd Shaped Forms.
