Jim,

If you want to explore the way the anchor values work, download the anchor builder from my website. It lets you alter values and resize the dialog to see what the effect is.

IMHO the only controls that should resize are: grid, pageframe, editbox and listbox. Other controls like textbox and combobox should be sized to show their data all the time without the user having to scroll the data content to see it.

And you shouldn't have your forms automatically resize themselves to the users resolution. Your app would only run one time on my machine before it was uninstalled if it behaved that way. Filling my 1920x1200 screen to display what fits in a 200x100 dialog is ridiculous.

You should allow the users to resize the forms to what works best for them and save/restore those preferences.

>I understand that in VFP9 we now have a way to make our forms be sensitive to screen resolution and resize and rescale accordingly. It has something to do with the new ANCHOR property for form objects. Is there a whitepaper on how to use this new feature or do we have to fumble around on our own to figure out how it works? If this new functionality repositions and resizes objects in proportion to the screen size does it also automatically handle font size changes at the same time? Any enlightenment on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
