Hi All

I am facing problem with WinForms resizing problem...

I have DataGrid and couple buttons and groupbox inside winforms.. When I
resize the winform i want to maintain the distance between control
horizontal and vertically. It ok if the control gets resized..
Let me know if someone has logic for it. I know one thing that I can
catch the onResize even of winforms and then I can do some resizing for
other controls

can anyone give me the logic or set of steps for it ?

Without seeing the layout of your form, I can't guess what exactly you
want to resize in which way. If you can't do it with the usual mechanisms
of docking and anchoring (a hint: consider using additional invisible
grouping panels), you'll have to calculate the control positions and/or
sizes yourself when the form is resizing.

yes, you should change control position,size and font size.

Check out the Anchor and Dock properties of the control and form. Most
resizing tasks can be performed by setting those properties.

If you have very specialized re-sizing needs, then using the OnResize
event as others have suggested would be appropriate.
