When using the ResizeKit to develop applications, place the ResizeKit Control on the form during design and then set the control properties when needed.
The ResizeKit Control
The ResizeKit Control automatically recognizes the size of the controls and fonts on your form and adjusts their size according to changes in the screen resolution or changes in the size of the form.
Most third party controls can be resized using the ResizeKit, however there may be some exceptions. When the height and width properties of controls are isulated from the ResizeKit Control, they cannot automatically be resized. The fonts and cells used by some grid and spread type controls are examples of this. In such cases, simply define the height and width of the control that you want to resize within the ExitResize event.
A Note About Syntax
The types listed in ResizeKit2 Help File may be different from the types used in your development environment.
| Listed Type | Visual Basic | C++Builder | Delphi |
| integer | Integer | short | SmallInt |
| long | Long | long | LongInt |
| double | Double | double | Double |
| string | String | AnsiString/UnicodeString | String |
| bool | Boolean | bool | Boolean |
From C++Builder 2009, type UnicodeString is used, for C++Builder versions prior to C++Builder 2009, use AnsiString
When Using the ResizeKit2 In VCL Environments:
All on forms that contain the ResizeKit control, set the form's properties to the following values:
AutoScroll: False
Scaled: False
Position: poDefaultPosOnly, PoDesigned or poScreenCenter
Property List:
| Property Name | Explanation |
| Enabled | Enables the ResizeKit functionality |
| FormHeight | Sets the height of the initial display of the form |
| FormMaxHeight | Sets the maximum height of the form |
| FormMinHeight | Sets the minimum height of the form |
| FormWidth | Sets the width of the initial display of the form |
| FormMaxWidth | Sets the maximum width of the form |
| FormMinWidth | Sets the minimum width of the form |
| FormPos | Sets the position of the initial display of the form |
| NoResizeCtl | Sets the controls that will be excluded from resizing |
| NoResizeFntCtl | Sets the controls whose fonts will be excluded from resizing |
| ResizeFont | Sets whether or not the fonts of the controls on the form will be resized |
| ValidTaskbar | Sets whether or not "The Taskbar" is displayed when the form size is larger than the screen size |
Method List:
| Method Name | Explanation |
| DynamicAdd | Used when controls are added to the form dynamically. This method updates the ResizeKit so the dynamically added controls will be included in resizing. (For VCL versions of the ResizeKit only) |
| DynamicDelete | Used when controls are deleted from the form dynamically. This method updates the ResizeKit so the dynamically deleted controls will no longer be included in resizing. (For VCL versions of the ResizeKit only) |
Event List:
| Event Name | Explanation |
| ExitResize | Generated after the form has been resized |
