[DUG] Resizing forms

[Kyley Harris]

If you are meaning make better use of the realestate, then use panels
with
The align property. You can set the page control to alClient, so that it
takes up all the room of the form not used by other things, such as an
info
Panel set to alTop. Inside the page control, on your grid, set the grid
to alclient to take up all the space of the tab sheet.

If you really do just want to make your form proportionately bigger, as
suggested by some other answers, so that it looks identical on a higher
res screen, rather than making use of the bigger screen to see more
data, then god help you and your clients :D

Subject: [DUG] Resizing forms

Question - My main program has 3 or 4 main forms, set to fit on a
800x600
screen, but would like to have them resize to fill most of larger
screens.
They all have a few labels at the top of the screen, bottom part of form
is
a page control, and on each page/tab are more labels and a stringgrid or
memo.  What do I need to read up on and do to allow the labels and
particularly the page control and grids and columns to resize to larger
screens......haven't ever done this yet)
 
I know how to find the screensize, that is not the problem.....its what
properties I need to play with to do the resizing that I don't know...

Any quick suggestions or where to read up to find more of the issues to
be
aware of....

John
