Resizing Forms

[Dreamer2007]

Please, help me with code so that my forms will fit perfectly on different screen sizes and resolutions without being too small or too large. Sorry guys to bother you with questions from the dead VB 6.0. It’s what we still use this side of the world.

Noone can give you any code. If this was VB.NET, all you would have to do is use the proper control containers and set the properties of the containers and controls to maintain the layout. No code required at all. Since you're using VB6, you have to write your own code to handle the Resize event of the form, then go through all the contorls on the form and recalculate new sizes and positions for every one of them. The code has to be written to maintain the layout how you want. Noone can write this for you. It has to be custom written for your layout. You have to figure out how you want the controls to resize and reposition relative to what points on the form or relative to other controls. Once you know that, you can do the math to move the controls and resize them if needed.

What is your definition of "fitting perfectly"?
