如何设置控件和表格大小以根据屏幕分辨率进行更改？

Question

For example i just created a new Form i show him with a click button.

In the new form Designer i add 4 panels and docked them to the right left up down center.

Then added on the bottom panel a button for the test.

Now i did that on my screen resolution 1920X1080.

But when i switched the resolution to 1024X768 the button seems to be ok but the form it self went out of bounds to the left and right.

So how can i make that form will fit to the screen resolution changes ? I want the form to be full screen or not full screen but to fit the new resolution each time i change my monitor resolution.

Not only the controls to fit but also the form if the form size was 170X120 so i dont want to change the form size but to fit him to the new resolution. I mean maybe i will have to change the size of the form but the idea is to keep the form how it was and fit him to the new resolution.

Answer 1

One of the easiest ways to do it is to use percentages as opposed to pixel values. Set the width of the form to 100% and each of the elements within them to 25% or whatever you need to fill the space. That's my initial stab at it without seeing any code.

You can use the anchor property to have controls adjust to the size of the window.

Here is a great article on how to use the anchor:
