Questions setting up a resizeable screen

[Connor T]

hi,

I wish to have a resizeable screen, which has a control bar at the bottom
with buttons in, which remains at the bottom of the screen, and a panel in
the middle area which shrinks or expands as necessary for the given space.
( And displays scrollbars as required )

I've played around with docking options and all sorts to no avail so far - I
feel i must be missing something, as this should be an easy thing to do, so
can anyone suggest how to go about doing this?

Rgds,
Dan

Connor,

Probably you miss the anchor properties, it acts like the docking however
not direct filling the complete area.

I hope this helps,

Add a toolbar control and set its 'Dock' property to 'Bottom'. Then add a
panel and set 'Dock' to 'Fill' and 'AutoScroll' to 'True'.
