You would probably be okay with the Anchor property of the controls.

You should look into Control Docking, it'll probably suit your needs.
What you may want is to set the properties of the image control to fill the image inside.
Steps:
I created a new windows form
I added a picture box to the form
I set the picture box "Dock" property to "Fill"
I added an image to the picture box
I set the SizeMode property to "StretchImage" ("Zoom" might better fit your needs")

I am new to C# and I'm making a C# .NET Framework Windows App Project.
I wanna make an add button but, when I change it's size the icon wont do the same!
First it is like this
Than it would become like this
I'm sorry if my grammar isn't so great!🙏
I have tried to change the buttons size and I thought that the icon would change size but It didn't and now I have only a part of the icon
I assume that you have a Windows Forms App (WinForms). Buttons have a BackgroundImageLayout property you can set to Zoom; however, you will have to assign the image to the BackgroundImage property instead of the Image property for this to work.
You can also set BackgroundImageLayout to Stretch if you want to fill the button with the image and you don't mind a possible distortion of the image this involves.
If you have a PictureBox, you can assign the image to the Image property and set the SizeMode property instead. It has similar settings.
In the button properties change BackgroundImageLayout to Stretch
I created a Form with fixed size, containing a fixed sized TableLayoutPanel. Controls are anchored to the TableLayoutPanel using the Anchor property. However controls are cropped after moving from Desktop to laptop.
I have tried setting MinimumSize, AutoSize and AutoSacling in Form and TableLayoutPanel, but controls are still cropped.
Suggestions?
You should try using Dock property of TableLayoutPanel.
Change its value to fill (Dock = Fill), this way your TableLayoutPanel will be drawn within the form border.
Another suggestion is, you should divide your main tablelayouttable like a grid and put one control inside its individual cell. Set their Dock property to Fill and you will see the result.
Hope it helps. Good Luck.
I've set the backgroundImage property, and still the image covers all the UI, what am I doing wrong?
Thank you.
You're not providing enough information, but possible scenarios are:
The PictureBox is set to cover the entire form
You've not set the PictureBox's BackgroundImage property but the one of the form itself
You have set the PictureBox to stretch the image (goes together with 1.)
Why are you setting BackgroundImage at all? Usually you put a PictureBox on the form, assign the image and make sure that it has the appropriate size (or stretches, which I assume your's is doing). Usually you don't need the BackgroundImage property to display an image in the PictureBox.
Yes, Image and BackgroundImage, both of them
I assume you've set the BackgroundImage for the form and are now trying to clear the BackgroundImage of the PictureBox, that's why the "Clear" button is grayed out and that's why you see both of them.
Go ahead and select the form first by clicking somewhere on it where there is no other control, and then go to the BackgroundImage property and clear it.
How can I resize a windows form without hiding controls that are positioned outside the form's new size?
Check out the .Anchor property of the buttons you want to avoid hiding. The anchor property can be set such that the placment of the buttons is alwas relative to one or more edges of the form. This way, when the form is resized, the buttons location is "anchored" to (for example) the Bottom and right edges of the form.
This will not prevent the user from making the form smaller than the minimum space required by the buttons, but I believe you can also set a minimum size property for the form.
set the anchor property of your buttons or items in form.
If still you have issues, put the buttons or controls to pannel or groupbox and dock the buttons to parent container. Then apply anchor property for controller.
I Have found the similar issue and what i tried is to put all the buttons in a TableLayoutPanel and set the Anchor property of the buttons that way i am able to resize the button corresponding to the size of the form.
If any body has a better idea kindly suggest........
I've a winform and I placed a listbox in that form. When I maximize the winform the size of the list box remains same.
But I dont want like this. I want to adjust the size automatically.
Is there any default property for this?
Thank you,
Nagu
Look for the anchor properties. You can set the anchor to resize automatically following the form.
The anchor has 4 sides. If you anchor to all 4 sides, the control will retain its size ratio according to the size of its parent form.
Use the .Anchor property.
You can set the Dock Property of the listbox to fill. if you are using list box in some parent control like splitter panel
