Re: Resize all controls on a user control or form automatically with changing of user control or form OriginalGriff18-May-19 4:58 OriginalGriff 18-May-19 4:58  No, that doesn't make any sense. Stop trying to type as little as possible and explain in detail, remembering that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with. So we have no idea what anchor settings you used, or how your controls are arranged to start with - we don't even know if "resize" means your form "getting bigger" or "getting smaller"; "taller", "shorter", "both"; all of the above!

You've simply got more learning to do to properly handle setting up your layouts with TableLayoutPanel, FlowLayoutPanel, Docking, Anchoring, any other containers, ... It's not a simple "Ask a question and get an answer that will fix everything". The only answer to this problem is more learning and experimentation. We can't see your layout and screen shots isn't going to help that because we also cannot see the properties of your controls and containers.

Re: Resize all controls on a user control or form automatically with changing of user control or form Mycroft Holmes18-May-19 12:04 Mycroft Holmes 18-May-19 12:04  Don't - simply design for the smallest acceptable monitor size, use docking, and accept that larger monitors will have a lot of white space. This is the generally accepted solution to different monitor size/resolution. A control designed for 1280x960 looks bloody silly stretched to 1920x1024.

I will respond further if you start giving details of your UI structure, and get specific. Describe what AutoSizeMode setting you are using; describe what is docked, and not docked. «Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?

I think it is possible. when i try to use from anchoring or docking, with resizing the form or user control, for instance, textBoxes will go under Buttons (some of them will move). my aim is to justify all controls belongs to a parent while resizing the parent with mouse movement and maximizing. thanks a million to care about my question.

Changing the z-order at run-time: you don't want to go there. While I have a sense of what you want to do, you are not specific enough for me to offer further comment. You did not respond to the issue I raised about the problems of trying to scale fonts in WinForms. I suggest you make three visual mock-ups showing the initial UI state, and that initial state sized larger, and smaller. Post links to those pictures here. «Where is the Life we have lost in living?

Elliot Re: Resize all controls on a user control or form automatically with changing of user control or form Ralf Meier19-May-19 21:28 Ralf Meier 19-May-19 21:28  According the the discussion until now and the given answers and comments : If you want to resize controls when resizing the container-control (Form, Panel, Usercontrol and so on) you have to memorize the location of each control and it's size depending on the Master-Form. If you now resize the Form each control in it must shrink or grow and each location must be shifted - depending on the changes. For this Anchors and so on are now helpful. You need to create a method which is called with the Form.SizeChanged-Event. If you do it like this you should know, that not every Control does a properly resizing. Also it will be possible that the look becomes very strange. Does Anybody Else Miss the WITH construct of Visual Basic? David A. Gray17-May-19 7:07 David A.
