AI Thread Summary
To achieve dynamic resizing of a text box relative to a form in a Windows application, setting the Anchor property of the text box is essential. This property allows the text box to maintain its position and size relative to the edges of the form when it is resized. In C#, this can be implemented by using the code: yourtextbox.Anchor = (AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right). This solution effectively ensures that the text box adjusts its dimensions appropriately as the form is resized.

I searched Google and could not find a solution for this.

I have a form with a text box and I want to make it so that when I resize the form while the application is running the text box would get resized as well and be "relative" to the size of the form.

Any help please?

Obviously this is Windows (not Xterm)? Less obviously - what language are you coding in?
 
CodeMonkey, I think what you want to do is set the Anchor property of your text field. This is a property of all Controls:

Assuming this is C#, I think you want to say
yourtextbox.Anchor = (AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right);
 
Coin, thanks, that worked. :-)

Blender just recently dropped a new version, 4.5(with 5.0 on the horizon), and within it was a new feature for which I immediately thought of a use for. The new feature was a .csv importer for Geometry nodes. Geometry nodes are a method of modelling that uses a node tree to create 3D models which offers more flexibility than straight modeling does. The .csv importer node allows you to bring in a .csv file and use the data in it to control aspects of your model. So for example, if you...
I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
