Hi, i have a form which is size 500 * 300 I have groupbox, textboxes, and buttons inside that form. When the form is loading into my main mdi parent form, its size is 500*300, when i maximize the childform, my controls all are at the position top left. How do i make it center( when the window is maximize) depending on the screen size?

If you want to center the groupbox, not the controls in it, personally I would recalc the Location from the groupbox on the maximize event. The controls in the groupbox will change their location automatically. For the other controls outside the groupbox, use a panel and calc its location as you do for the groupbox. Hope this helps

Point newLocation = new Point(); newLocation.X = (int)(this.Width - groupBox1.Width) / 2; newLocation.Y = (int)(this.Height - groupBox1.Height) / 2; groupBox1.Location = newLocation;Tiefe Brunnen muss man graben wenn man klares Wasser will, tiefe Wasser sind nicht still.

anchoring changes the size of the control to center i thought? imho if you want to center the control without changing its size, you have to recalc.

<blockquote class="FQ"><div class="FQA">sunspeed wrote:</div>imho</blockquote> What does this mean? If used smartly, anchoring can help you postion the control to centre the control with or without resizing. I have created a sample form in which control will be at centre(and of same size) regardless of how you resize the form.
