Resizing a Windows Form along-with all its components

Question

Hi I have been working on an application which requires me to develop an application in which I have some components (labels textboxes and buttons) on a windows form. Keeping in mind that I can have anything (even user controls on the forms) I need to find a way to enlarge or contract the form on which even the controls embedded in the form enlarges or contracts. Can anybody give me an idea/sample code to achieve the same? Any help in this direction will be highly solicited. Regards

You have to set Anchor and Dock rpoperty for each control. See more information on these properties in MSDN.

Hi you could try using button1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill; and see if it works. Not sure as I haven't yet tried it. HTH irfan
