Resizing controls with form: Anchor property

[ArekBulski]

Welcome! This short tutorial will show you how to re-size controls, when you are re-sizing your form. For example, after clicking Maximize button, a form will get much bigger. If buttons and controls inside stay with same size... it may look strange. In case you want to change it, there it is:

Changing Anchor property of controls

Select the controls that you want to be resizing with your form. They may be buttons, listviews and textboxes, but not necessarily every one of them. Now go to the Properties panel, and select Anchor property. After clicking on that gray thing you can add or remove right and bottom anchor. Please add them.





Now just resize your form and you will see the effect immediately. Here are example screenshots, after adding those anchors.
