Watched one of Alistair Christie's online videos on form resizing. Great,
and Thanks - I learnt a new IDE trick: you can change properties on more
than one control at once by selecting several (and I thought that was only
to move them as a group - doh!)
Question - there are several ways to resize forms for different screen
sizes, including
Form.scaleby
Or using align and margins,
Or by using anchors and constraints
Which do users use and merits of each?
(I often use form.scaleby for automatic sizing of form to users screen -
works well - means users do not have to resize a form usually. I am
assuming the align/margins etc are mainly useful for users manually resizing
a form - when to use which is the question. Alistair suggested anchors for
simpler forms and align more generally flexible.)
