Inherent form controls resizeHi,
In VB6 and earlier if the form size was expanded by the user or maximized there had to be specific code to handle controls on the form to scale with with it. In VB.net I recall in one of the MSDN videos seeing that Windows forms have a property that auto scale controls within the form. The problem is I don't see it and the ones I try don't work. What are my eyes not seeing? Thanks, Adam Is that all I need to set?
I'm getting funny behavior, either it won't scale (the controls) or they scale overlapping each other, or further still they just move to the edge of the form.

Resizing to fit the container (ie form) when it is resized by the user (ie mouse drag or maximum button). I can get it to semi work but my form has a listview at the top half and a rich text box in the bottom. Depending how I set it one of these will take control over the entire vertical space thus overlapping (ie hiding) the other. I can't really specify a maximum size as I don't know the user's screen resolution. Adam Show quoteHide quote "Herfried K.

The Dock properties from the split container are automaticly at startup set to Fill. Therefore what you are looking for is probably the Dock property.

forces it way to the window border. Plus the dock can only be left, right, top, bottom, center but never more than 1. I can't get it to work without the anchor settings.

That has (as I understand you well) to do with the Z order. Which means in the way the controls are set on the form. The last has the priority therefore Z.
