It is not possible to navigate to fields which are not displayed, there are no scroll bars to see the hidden screen area. how can we resolve this issue. Any help on this please. :confused:

Hi, Do you set the hard code size? I mean how do you set the maximum size? Cheers Ashik

well i do that by setting the Windowstate property to Maximized during the design time

Hi, Take a look at this article on msdn about automatic scaling of Windows forms. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229605(VS.80).aspx[^] Also I'm not sure if you have understood your customer's problem. Switch one of your monitors to 800x600 resolution, run your app and I think all will become clear. AlanN

You can use a combination of tablelayout, flowlayout, form and controls' dock property to make all the controls scale nicely (thought not perfectly).
