Resizing componenets

[dave starkey]

Hi all,
Can anybody tell me hoe to resize a control to fit the width of the window when its resized. I'm trying to fit a webbrowser control and the panel its on to the width of the window if its resized.

Use the docking property. Set the DockStyle = DockStyle.Fill;

Scott,
I am informed through a build error that the webbrowser object does not have a dockstyle property. The only similar one in the properties list is dock.

That is the one I meant.... set the property in the designer, not in code.

Scott,
I dont see a DockStyle property in the designer? Can you be a little more specific.

Dave

Use the "dock" property. You set webBrowser.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

Scott,
I found the fill property - the sqaure in the middle of the drop-down box - that was the missing piece of information. But now it expands to fill the entire tab that it is on - covering all the other controls. I need it to stay where it is - relative to its top left corner and resize from there, moving the position of the bottom right corner as I drag out the forms right and lower edges.

Unset the fill property and set the Anchor property Left, Top, Bottom, and Right.
