Hi Jeffrey,
The crux of it is, at it's simplest, I want to zoom everything in the window
proportionately to the window's change in size.

If I have a window that is designed at 320 x 240 then on a larger monitor I
want to  resize the window at runtime to better fit the available monitor
size, I want all the child controls (and their children...)  to resize along
with their parent containers as well as having the Font size of any controls
also change proportionately.
So for example if a textbox takes 50% of the window width and uses say 8pt
Font then when you resize the window and double its size the textbox will
double in size and the Font Size would double to 16pt, therefore the text box
will still be 50% of the window's width and the Font size would also have
scaled porportionately.

So as you allude to, their ARE TWO issues I am interested in. The child
control sizing and what tools their are for this (eg docking and anchoring)
and the second is that once the control is resized what tools or options are
there to get the Font size to follow along.
From what I can see the anchor property only maintains the distance from any
set edge based on the absolute measurement not the proportion measurements
from those edges. The docking property probably isn't relevant or usefull in
this situation.

And the only options for automatically resizing Fonts that I can see, are
with dpi resolutions and not the size of the control.

Steps to reproduce current behaviour:
Place a text box or label that is 50 pixels square in the center of a form
that is 100 pixels square and set it to dock to to all sides.
Resize the form to 200 pixels square. The textbox is now 150 pixels square
(ie still 25 pixels away from each side) and still uses the original Font
size.
Desired behaviour:
on resizing the text box would be 100 pixels square (ie twice the original
size) and use a font size twice as large.

Hope this clarifies what I am trying to do. As I say, I can right a lot of
code to iterate child controls etc but wanted to know if there were any
alternatives I was missing.

Thanks
