Newbie: Form resizing

[steve]

Hi,

Is there a way in VB.NET to get scrollbars when the form passes the Screen
borders and/or the user's resolution is small?
I have set up Autoscroll = True, but this is probably for something else,
since by decreasing the size of the from I lose contents.

The same is true for other users with smaller screen resolutions than mine.

Borland used to have something similar which was quite useful.

Any help would be appeciated!

Steve,

Why do you not try things like this yourself.
Create a project
Set in the form properties autoscroll to true
Drag a label on your form
Set its size larger than your form size (extreem)
You see it than alreade however Debug

Setting 'AutoScroll' to 'True' should have the desired effect. However,
scrollbars won't appear if you move the form outside the screen bounds. I
suggest to design your forms for a screen resolution of 800 × 600 px and
dock/anchor the controls.

Thanx both,

Actually with Autoscroll=True, if I resize the form to smaller, I still
don't get the scrollbars!
Is there a way to do this without changing *my* resolution while developing?

I am surprised VS doesn't have a better way to do this.... I remember with
Borland 5, it was done better (according to my opinion).

My apologies ....

My mistake was that the main form includes a set of "top" tabs. I get the
scrllbars only if i set the Autoscroll to each individual Tab as well.

Sorry for wasting your time, I'll try to be more careful next time.

Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
