What does it do that it appears not to work? It looks like this will resize your controls proprotionaltely to the screen size.

However this is only part of the problem when resizing. You also need to take into account changes in fontsize as well. An application that looks good at 640x480 may be totally unreadable at 1024x768.

>I wrote an app (designed in 800 x 600) and distributed it with the following code given to me by Microsoft. This code was supposed to adapt to any setting the user had chosen...640 x 480, 1024 x 768 etc. IT DOESN'T. Any help would be appreciated.
