No, that doesn't make any sense. Stop trying to type as little as possible and explain in detail, remembering that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with. So we have no idea what anchor settings you used, or how your controls are arranged to start with - we don't even know if "resize" means your form "getting bigger" or "getting smaller"; "taller", "shorter", "both"; all of the above!

Hi, excuse me, you're right. i am using c# and winApp. i want to change controls of a form or an user control in the same time with resizing the form or user control with mouse down movment in any direction (N,E,WS,NE,NW,SE,SW) and also with minimizing the and maximizing the form or user control. thank you for you help.

Don't - simply design for the smallest acceptable monitor size, use docking, and accept that larger monitors will have a lot of white space. This is the generally accepted solution to different monitor size/resolution. A control designed for 1280x960 looks bloody silly stretched to 1920x1024.

So you're not listening to a word I say, just posting no information? Is there any point in trying to ask a question if you can't be bothered to tell us what we need to know?

1. by using a combination of docked controls, and other controls that are anchored, you can achieve pretty good proportional UI re-sizing in WinForms. 2. you will not achieve good quality arbitrary proportional font re-sizing in WinForms because of changes in font rendering: fonts are rendered clearly in certain fixed "quantum state sizes" ... you want more than that, use WPF, where fonts, like everything else, get run through the vector graphic engine. I will respond further if you start giving details of your UI structure, and get specific. Describe what AutoSizeMode setting you are using; describe what is docked, and not docked.

Hi, Thank you for your help and advise. i am trying to create a class to justify all of the components of the forms and user controls (each one of them, separately). I think it is possible. when i try to use from anchoring or docking, with resizing the form or user control, for instance, textBoxes will go under Buttons (some of them will move). my aim is to justify all controls belongs to a parent while resizing the parent with mouse movement and maximizing. thanks a million to care about my question.

Hi, Excuse me if i did not ask my question properly. i only want to know is it possible to create a class to resize controls belong to a parent while i am resizing my parent (Form or user control)? because when i am using from anchoring and docking in the controls properties, sizes are will changed but the controls will go under/Over each other. i do not know what else shall i post! :doh: Thank you for your kindly trying to help me:rose::rose::rose:.

Changing the z-order at run-time: you don't want to go there. While I have a sense of what you want to do, you are not specific enough for me to offer further comment. You did not respond to the issue I raised about the problems of trying to scale fonts in WinForms. I suggest you make three visual mock-ups showing the initial UI state, and that initial state sized larger, and smaller. Post links to those pictures here.

According the the discussion until now and the given answers and comments : If you want to resize controls when resizing the container-control (Form, Panel, Usercontrol and so on) you have to memorize the location of each control and it's size depending on the Master-Form. If you now resize the Form each control in it must shrink or grow and each location must be shifted - depending on the changes. For this Anchors and so on are now helpful. You need to create a method which is called with the Form.SizeChanged-Event. If you do it like this you should know, that not every Control does a properly resizing. Also it will be possible that the look becomes very strange.

If you're looking to create a class to handle this for you, that's not going to work. You've simply got more learning to do to properly handle setting up your layouts with TableLayoutPanel, FlowLayoutPanel, Docking, Anchoring, any other containers, ... It's not a simple "Ask a question and get an answer that will fix everything". The only answer to this problem is more learning and experimentation. We can't see your layout and screen shots isn't going to help that because we also cannot see the properties of your controls and containers.
