Form Resizing in visual studio 2012

Hello Everyone,
I am using Visual Studio 2012 in Visual Basic Development Settings.
When I resize my form, all the controls on that form stay to the top left corner and it is only the window that resizes. I want all the controls also to resize accordingly.
Or Else, I want to design the form already maximized, so what sized form should I design? I mean what size should I enter in the properties of my Form?
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

isn´t there a "WindowState" that you can set to 2?

like: Form1.WindowState = 2

Thanks for your reply Klaus,
I can set the form to start maximized at all times. But the problem is while designing, How can i design the layout of form for a maximized window, I will have to know the size of a maximized for for designing the layout that way.

It starts maximized if I set the form size to 1366X768 (My Computer's Resolution). But what if I install it to another computer with lesser or greater resolution, will it start full screen (maximized)..?

Hi,

yes, it will start fullscreen, but depending on the PC´s resolution setup it will not be 1366x768.

To get a nice look, you have to adjust your items (position and size) dynamically according resolution.
