No hand coding is neccessary. Drop the control on a Visual Basic Form and it automaticaly begins working. The Exclusion Wizard is available via the Property Pages which lets you exclude controls you don't want resized, you can even choose just to not effect certain properties on a control level basis.
Many special cases are also handled by Resizer Wizard.
- Toolbar Controls are recognized and the controls will be adjusted to react to that fact it does not resize.
- Coolbar controls - handled the same way as ToolBars
- Microsoft Tabbed Dialog created by Sheridan (SSTab) is handled in all cases of tab size and rows, as well as orientation.
- Line control are properly resized proportionally, these have to be handled completely different due to different properties.
- All container controls are recognized as such and handled properly.
- Most custom controls will work properly with Resize Wizard, if a problem exists, just use the Exclusion Wizard.
- Supports MDI Child forms
Resizer Wizard not only adjusts the Left, Top, Width, and Height properties it also calculates what the Font Size should be based on the original font size used at development time.
Resizer Wizard also has helper methods that can be used in your application such as a method that centers your Form on the display, and another one that makes your Form adjust its size to be the Maximum width and height of the available client area(Note: its not maximized, just sized to be that level). You can also specify the Minimum size the Form should be allowed to be.
All of the above reasons should be enough to warrant the use of Resizer Wizard in your application. Unless you make minimum wage and will only work on one program in your life, Resizer Wizard will pay for itself in the use of it on one or two forms. Not to mention all of the Forms in an application, or even multiple applications.
NOTE: This component is only designed to work with Visual Basic applications
