I have a VB.NET app that uses lots of forms which I am loading into a panel
cotrol using.....

Me.pnlMain.Controls.Clear()

frm.TopLevel = False
frm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
frm.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
frm.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left + AnchorStyles.Right + AnchorStyles.Top +
AnchorStyles.Bottom
frm.AutoSize = True
frm.AutoSizeMode = Windows.Forms.AutoSizeMode.GrowAndShrink

Me.pnlMain.Controls.Add(frm)
frm.Show()


What I want to do though is have the form resize when the panel control
(which resizes with it's main form) resizes....i've tried something like the
following but it's not working....How can I do this?

    Private Sub pnlMain_Resize(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles pnlMain.Resize
        On Error Resume Next
        Debug.WriteLine(Me.pnlMain.Size.Width.ToString & " x " &
Me.pnlMain.Size.Height.ToString)
        Debug.WriteLine(Me.pnlMain.Controls.Item(0).Width & " x " &
Me.pnlMain.Controls.Item(0).Height)

        Dim oFrm As New Form

        If Me.pnlMain.Controls.Count > 0 Then
            'Debug.WriteLine("There is a control in the panel " &
Me.pnlMain.Controls.Item(0).Name)
            With Me.pnlMain.Controls.Item(0)
                .Size = New Size(Me.pnlMain.Size.Width,
Me.pnlMain.Size.Height)
            End With


        End If
    End Sub

You're doing too much. You only need to set TopLevel to false, Dock to
Fill and add the form to the panel. The other properties (WindowState,
Autosize, etc) are not needed. Setting WindowState will actually
prevent the form from automatically resizing.

HTH.

Thanks for the reply but I've now only got

        Me.pnlMain.Controls.Clear()

        frm.TopLevel = False
        frm.Dock = DockStyle.Fill

        Me.pnlMain.Controls.Add(frm)
        frm.Show()

And when my panel resizes the form I've loaded into it doesn't.

Maybe you need to provide more details, then (are you setting some of
those properties in the designer, for instance?).

It resizes here... =)

Yes,   some of the other properties are set in the designer....found them
