Thread: scaling controls on window resize or font change?

I'm working on an app with a few tabs worth of controls, and I'm curious about the best way to go about handling resizing the window if I decide to allow it. It seems like that would all have to be done one control at a time. Is there anything easier?

Something else I plan to do is allow user to change the font in edit controls and listviews. I've done this before, but I've never considered how the font type/size effects the control. Like, if they make the font bigger, do I have to resize the controls to show it properly? How would you calculate control size based on font size/type?

It sounds like you are talking about dialog windows, right?

Yea there's no real away to do all the controls at once during runtime (that i know of). You'd have to make a loop, or hard code in the resizing of all your controls.

Question, if it's tabs and controls in a dialog, I'm going to assume they are either options or preference type controls. So why are you making that sizeable? If not, ignore that question.
