Windows Positioning on distributed software

I noticed that

when I complie an application and distribute it to my fans (My Family :)

That the windows display differently depending upon the screen resolution

of the client computer. Is there a property besides the center property of the form

that I can use to assure that the program will look the same on all computers.

A third party add-on, or something I'm over looking in the property settings

of the form. Thanks in advance again.... ..Eric

    OK,

    I am using VS2005 VB. What I'm trying to say is when I give one of my

    programs to my family and they run it on their computer when they just use the default

    window position that the program originally starts in everything looks fine but

    when they maximize the window then all the controls (objects) don't stay centered

    or in the exact position that I place them in. They all make a beeline to the left of the

    screen. This also happens to a computer that is using an 800-600 resolution.

    Then the whole window and the controls look awfully displaced. I hope this helps a little

    bit. Thanks for your time....Eric

    No problem!

    Your question is a little too generic, so if you can clarify a little bit that would be great.  In the meantime, here are some suggestions (I'm assuming VS .NET 2005 here!) if I understand you correctly...

    Almost every control has an Anchor, Dock, & AutoSize property which will automatically resize itself.

    Almost all of the container controls have an AutoSizeMode property that will auto-resize it contents.
