Hi

I have a windows form and with init I have a tab control.

How can I get the tab control to resize, Min/Max as the windows form is
resized?

Thanks

In the Form's resize event code block, insert code changing the tab control's
dimensions relative to the form's. Example:

    Private Sub Form1_Resize(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Resize
        TabControl1.Width = Me.Width - 20
        TabControl1.Height = Me.Height - 20
    End Sub

You can use any arithmetic operator and any values within reason; just
depends on what your needs are.

Take a look at the Anchor and Dock properties or, if neither of
those do the job, add some code to the Form's Layout event,
as in

Private Sub Form1_Layout( ... ) handles Form1.Layout
    With TabControl2
        .Location = New Point( 8, 8 )
        .Size = New Size( Me.ClientSize.Width - 16 _
            Me.ClientSize.Height - 16 _
            )
    End With
End Sub

HTH,
