    Hi,

    you can use the anchor propertys of controls and things like tablelayoutpanels, flowlayout panels. This might help you. But keep in mind to test your apps in low resoultions, because the controls might get really small.

    Hi,

    which dialog windows cant you resize What do these "some" have in common Do they have set FormBorderStyle to FixedDialog etc. Are the more hugh than the screen

  • Schorschi

    FormBorderStyle is set to sizable and the form size is set to 1280,728. 

    But when running on systems with resolutions of about 800x600, the window cannot be resized to greater than 800x600....hence some of the controls on the form will be overlaying each other...cause the app was developed on a high resolution workstation....

    Is there a way to make the windows and fonts resize automatically based on screen resolution
