Vb.net Windows Forms and placement of buttons at Resize event

~OSD~ 2,196

Hi,

I have a form where I have selected DPI under auto-scale property. However, when the screen resolution changes, the buttons (Button 1, 2, and 3) are dislocated.

Is it possible to place the buttons on approximately 75 percent of the entire form screen? So even if the resolution changes, the buttons should be in almost the same location.

Hi

Did the method that you accepted previously for the location of a PictureBox not work in this case?

Hi,

The following works and place button 1 in the middle of about 70% of the screen, but now I have two more buttons shown in the picture, need to be next to each other.

Button1.Location = New Point(ClientRectangle.Width \ 2 - Button1.Width \ 2, ClientRectangle.Height / 100 * 70 - Label1.Height / 2)

Hi

First of all, some confusion. Are you positioning Button1 vertically relevant to Label1.Height?

In any case, once you have Button1 located to your liking, why not use that to set Button2 location: such as

Button2.Location = New Point(Button1.Right + 20, Button1.Top)

you are right, I was thinking in wrong direction to calculate the position for each buttons as was adjusted for the Button 1.
