The ResizeKit2 VCL trial editions are fully functional and can be used to test the ResizeKit2 performance within your preferred development environment before you purchase the retail version. All ResizeKit2 trial editions display a nag screen when the form is resized.
Important: The ResizeKit2 VCL trial version download contains all of the various ResizeKit2 VCL editions for all supported programming environments. The ResizeKit2 retail editions are each sold separately. They require a separate license for each programming environment. ResizeKit2 VCL editions for Delphi XE2 and above and for C++Builder XE3 and above support both 32 bit and 64 bit applications. All older ResizeKit2 editions support 32 bit applications only. For the availablility of older editions, please contact questions@imagekit.com.
Just place the ResizeKit on your form!
The ResizeKit2 is a control that automatically adjusts the size of the controls and fonts displayed on the form when the form size changes.
Programmers can write applications that are screen resolution independent or that adjust
the application appearance to size changes by the user,
often times without writing a single line of code. Even if the user switches the screen resolution while the application is running,
if that screen resolution forces the form to change size, the ResizeKit control will detect it and automatically adjust the size of the controls
and fonts on the form.
The ResizeKit2 is easy to use, simply place the control on the form at design time. It can be used immediately from
the first day without changing the program design or code in your existing programs.
The ResizeKit2 is fast and lightweight.
The ResizeKit2 Delphi and ResizeKit2 C ++ Builder, ResizeKit2 BDS, and
ResizeKit2 RAD Studio editions are VCL components for each supported VCL
development environment.
The
ResizeKit2 developer license allows the license holder to make as many runtime
applictions as they wish and, because the runtime license is free, the license
holder can distribute as many of each runtime application as they wish without
additional royalties or fees.
The ResizeKit2 can resize most standard control whose left, top, height, and
width properties are accessible to the control. Even some third party controls that do not
specify left, top, height, or width properties or controls in which these
properties are insulated from size changes can be resized by the ResizeKit. The
cells in Grid or Spread applications are some examples of this. In these cases,
the controls or fonts can be resized by specifying the dimensions of the control
or font in the ExitResize event. An example program illustrating the code
used in the ExitResize event is included with each edition of the ResizeKit2.
Note: There are third party controls are can not be resized using the
ResizeKit2. Please download and test the ResizeKit2 trial version before you purchase the product.
The trial version is fully functional. If you have any questions, please contact questions@imagekit.com.

- It is possible to create applications that support full screen resolution.
- Maximum and minimum form height and width can be specified.
- Initial location of the form can be specified.
- Controls and fonts can also be excluded from resizing.
- Runtime royalty-free license. Distribute unlimited applications without additional fees or royalties
- The ResizeKit VCL editions each have a unified .EXE so applications can be distributed in one simple unit.

The ResizeKit2 Component
Set the initial position and size of the form; set whether or not to resize fonts; specifiy the maximum or minimum allowable size for the form, etc. using custom properties. Simply paste this ResizeKit control on the form and the default properties will be set. In most cases, these values can be used as it is with no adjustment. The ResizeKit2 Delphi / ResizeKit2 C ++ Builder / ResizeKit2 BDS / ResizeKit2 RAD Studio are VCL components.
Simply add the ResizeKit Component to your form at design time and you are good to go!

At Runtime |
Changing the size of the form at runtime
By simply placing the ResizeKit on your form, the size of the controls and fonts automatically changes with changes in the size of the form. All controls and fonts appear in the same proportion as the original form
Reducing the size of your form without using the ResizeKit, hides the controls beyond the form's borders. Adding the ResizeKit automatically resizes the controls.

Increasing the size of your form without using the ResizeKit, just displays empty space on the form. Adding the ResizeKit automatically increases the size of the controls and fonts.

How the ResizeKit Control Works:
The ResizeKit control retrieves the values of the height and width properties of the form at design time and the values of the top, left, height, and width properties for all the controls on the form. Then, during runtime, if the size of the form changes, the ResizeKit control automatically calculates new values for the size and position all the controls by the same proportion. The ResizeKit control also calculates the font sizes as well.
In some cases, controls or fonts cannot be automatically resized. Third party controls that do not specify left, top, height, or width properties or controls in which these properties are insulated from the ResizeKit control such as the cells in Grid or Spread applications are some examples. In this case, these controls or fonts can be resized by specifying the dimensions of the control or font in the ExitResize Event. The ResizeKit includes sample programs to illustrate how to do this.
The ResizeKit control allows you to do other things like set the position and size of the initial display of the form, set whether or not fonts are resized, set the maximum and minimum sizes of the form, and so on.
Resizing the cells of a Grid Control
Place the ResizeKit control on the form that has the String Grid control
Declare variables to hold the original size of the cells.
Pass in the original height and width of the cells.
The ExitResize event fires whenever the form's size has changed.
Within the ExitResize event, use the XScale and YScale parameters to calculate
the new values for the cell's width and height.
In Delphi
that code looks like this....
const
MAXCOL = 4; // Maximum number of columns
MAXROW = 5; // Maximum number of rows
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
i: Integer;
begin
with StringGrid1 do
begin
ColCount := MAXCOL;
RowCount := MAXROW;
FixedCols := 1;
FixedRows := 1;
Cells[0, 0] := 'No.';
Cells[1, 0] := 'ITEM 1';
Cells[2, 0] := 'ITEM 2';
Cells[3, 0] := 'ITEM 3';
ColWidths[0] := 30;
ColWidths[1] := 100;
ColWidths[2] := 150;
ColWidths[3] := 100;
for i := 0 to MAXCOL - 1 do
Org_Width[i] := ColWidths[i];
Org_Height := DefaultRowHeight;
for i := 1 to MAXROW do
begin
Cells[0, i] := IntToStr(i);
end;
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.ResizeKit1ExitResize(Sender: TObject; XScale,
YScale: Double);
var
i: Integer;
begin
for i := 0 to StringGrid1.ColCount - 1 do
StringGrid1.ColWidths[i] := Round(Org_Width[i] * XScale);
StringGrid1.DefaultRowHeight := Round(Org_Height * YScale);
end;
At runtime, the grid without changing the form's size might look like this:
