Is there a way to change the resolution of the monitor on the fly so that the form created fits in properly along with the controls placed on it . Or is there a control available that sizes the controls on the acording to the screen resoultion. something like a auto fit control which will resize each control on the form according to the screen size

One year ago I couldn't solve this problem. I tried several third party resizer controls. No one worked well. I don't remember which controls I tested, but result was negative. For example all controls on the form change the size and font exept Mask Edit Box, which changes only its size, but font. The other doesn't change the sizes of controls which were placed inside of container (on Tab Control for example) and so on. I stopped to work on that. I found out, that even big software development companies, like Intuit do not develope programs with such features. Maybe now there is an easy way to do that.
Actually you can do it writing your own code in resize event for form. But it's going to be very big and will require to come back for editing when you add, delete, rename any control.
