ActiveResize Control 3.3

ActiveResize Control 3.3 can make your Visual Basic applications completely resolution-independent without the need to write any code. Design your applications at any screen resolution and have them run and look exactly the same at any screen resolution. This gives your applications an equally professional look and feel on all systems, resulting in increased sales of your software.

VBGold ActiveResize Control automatically resizes and repositions all controls (and captions, text, fonts) on VB forms when the form is resized either by the user or through code. The control automatically detects the resize event of its parent form and performs a proportional accurate resizing / repositioning on all form controls without requiring you to write a single line of code! Just drag and drop the control on the form and you are done!

ActiveResize handles virtually any type of controls. It also handles complex controls like the SSTab Tabbed Dialog control, all types of Microsoft DB Grids and Data Grids, as well as both the Microsoft FlexGrid (MSFlexGrid) and Hierarchical FlexGrid (MSHFlexGrid). Version 3.x also supports all types of Sheridan controls & Grids (SSDBGrid, SSOleDBGrid, SSDBCombo, etc.). It also supports the MS Toolbar control and the MS Calendar control. Unlike other resizer controls, ActiveResize automatically resizes the form background picture and the contents of picture boxes.

ActiveResize gives you great flexibility and control over the resize / reposition process. You can individually exclude any control(s) on the form from being resized and / or repositioned.

ActiveResize is perfectly optimized for maximum processing speed, resulting in a perfect ultra-fast resizing / repositioning process that is completely invisible by the user.

Major Features:

1. VBGold ActiveResize control is the fastest form resizer control on the planet!. Its code is perfectly optimized to achieve the highest performance possible. This means that the user of your application will never see the controls changing their sizes and positions when he/she resizes the form.
2. 100% flicker-free resizing & repositioning process (unlike most form resizer controls) even when resizing pictures!
3. Makes your applications completely resolution-independent. They will look exactly the same on all screen resolutions.
4. Automatically resizes and repositions all form controls when forms load or resized without the need to write any code. The control automatically detects the Load and Resize events of its parent form and resizes / repositions the controls.
5. Precisely Resizes and repositions the controls with exact proportions to the changes in the form size. Your forms will look exactly the same when they are resized.
6. Allows you to specify whether the font size of control captions, control text and grid cells text of the controls should be resized when the controls are resized.
7. Allows you to exclude any control(s) from being resized, repositioned or its font get resized. This gives you full control over the entire resize process.
8. Allows you to save the current form state (its position and size/position of all controls) and restore the form state at any later time with only one line of code!
9. Can handle every new control created on the form at run-time.
10. Can handle any type of controls on the form, even graphics controls such as Image and Picture controls, Chart controls as well as Line and Shape controls.
11. Can handle controls nested within other (container) controls.
12. Can handle complex controls like the Tabbed Dialog Control (SSTab control) and all controls on it.
13. Can handle all data grid controls like the DataGrid, DBGrid, MSFlexGrid, MSHFlesGrid. All columns in these controls are resized proportionally to the new size of the control.
14. Supports all types of Sheridan controls & Grids (SSDBGrid, SSOleDBGrid, SSDBCombo, etc.).
15. Supports the Janus GridEx grid control.
16. Fully supports the ESRI MapObjects GIS control and does not distort the spatial extent for calculating coordinates (very essential to a proper GIS system).
17. Supports the MS Toolbar control, MS Calendar control and the ProgressBar control.
18. Supports the 3D Active Button Magic controls.
19. Supports the Innovasys FramePlus and ButtonPlus Free ActiveX controls.
20. Automatically resizes the form background picture to the actual size of the form at run-time (when the form loads or is resized) even if the original picture is smaller or larger than the form area.
21. Automatically resizes the contents (image) of all PictureBox controls on the VB form.
22. Enables you to specify a minimum and maximum size for your forms. At run-time, the form can not be resized smaller or larger than the specified minimum / maximum size. This ensures that all controls on the form will be appropriately visible.
23. Enables you to prevent the from from being minimized and / or maximized.
24. Works with SDI, MDI child, and MDI parent forms.
25. Ready to be used in your existing applications without the need to write or modify any code.
26. Works on all 32-bit versions of Windows and can be used in Microsoft Visual Basic (5 & 6).
27. Great processing speed even on very slow computers. ActiveResize was tested on a 133MHz Pentium PC with 128MB RAM, 2MB Graphics Adapter RAM, with Windows 2000 Pro. OS and has displayed an equally great performance.
28. The control run-times are totally royalty-free! You purchase just one license and distribute thousands of copies of the control with your applications! It will pay for itself thousand times!

• Faster, Flicker-free, and now supports virtually any control and all types of Data Grids including MSFlexGrid and MSHFlexGrid and all Sheridan Grids.
• Also, provides full control over the resizing and repositioning process for each control separately.
