Making richtextbox resize with form?

How do I have a richtextbox (or similar item) width resize when I increase
the parent form width?

I could probably use the form change event and have the richtextbox set
to -10 of the form width but was wondering if there is a better way.

Thanks,
Brett

Set the richtextbox's 'Dock' property to 'Fill' or anchor the form on each
of the four edges.
