On my form, I have among other things, I have 4 textboxes and 3 buttons controls within a groupbox container. I can resize the form, groupbox and controls, but I can’t proportionally set the margin between the controls after resizing. Setting the margins in the property window don’t seem to work. Can anyone help please.

From what I remember you have to calculate these upon resizing in VB 6. This is usually done with a loop in the form resize event. If this is .NET you should be able to use anchoring to help maintain margins during a resize as well as use old VB 6 techniques to keep controls fitting together properly during resize.

Sorry I did not make it clear I am using vb2008 express. I have tried both anchor and docking without success. I can resize the form, group box, texboxes and button. My problem is achieving the new spaces between the resizes textboxes. I thought margins would solve the problem, but can’t seem to find the appropriate code.
