Anchors can change the height of a textbox. I have Anchor set to 240 for most things; that's relative on all sides.

As for the font increase, it's based on a class that I published some time ago. On the way into a form, you save the original height width, and font size of everything on the form (by adding properties to each item to store them). Then, bind the form's resize to a method of the font resize object. That method calculates the ratio of the new size to the old and adjust the font size accordingly. An older version of the code is on my website at http://www.tomorrowssolutionsllc.com/session_materials.htm. Look at the Developing Applications for Everyone article.
