    C# GUI form

    I am simply wondering how can I create a GUI application that can resize also the control buttons. If the user decide to make the windows bigger or smaller I would like my textbox, buttons, etc.. to follow. Like in Java they use a layout manager, but I can't seem to find the answer for c#. I though to use table layout panel, but it doesn't expand when expanding the windows, unless i miss something

    Thanks in advance

    In the "Dock"-property, select "Fill" to autoplace it over the whole parent area.

    And you can use anchoring for many other kinds of resizing needs.
