• Windows Forms Rescale Form

  Hello, How I can rescale one form (change the size of the form and magnify/shrink the content inside). Especially if on the form are multiple PictureBox. Thank you Best regards luben, Have a look at the Anchor and Dock properties. The anchor property 'anchors' an edge of your control to the edge of the form, so it will always be the same distance between them. If you anchor one edge, the control will move with that edge. If you anchor opposing edges, it will stretch the control. The dock property makes the control take up the whole side that you dock it to, and if you docked it to the left or right, you can adjust the width, or top/bottom you can adjust the height. ...Show All
