In Summary this is what I have:
Initially all controls have anchor value of 0 (zero).
The two edit boxes are inside a container.
The container is instantiated into the PageFrame.Page1 dynamically (in INIT method).
Then the Height of the Pageframe and the Form is being changed (increased)
Then the anchor value of the edit boxes is set to 75 and 30 (as suggested by Hugo).
The above does not produce the desired results.

Question: Would the following approach resolve the issue?
1. At design time, set the anchor value of the Pageframe and the Container (where edit boxes reside) to 5. And set the anchor values of the edit boxes at design time (to 75 and 30).
2. Then when the Pageframe is re-sized set the anchor value to 0 and then back to the design value.

TIA
