There is an App that can do it, which is what I am familliar with,
namely
Borland's Delphi. Every control can be configured to align with pretty
much whatever panels or forms you choose at design time. It takes
minutes
to make the form look like what you want before moving onto write code
to
do 'actual things'.

Hmmm. One more reason for me to start looking at Delphi...

I've been looking into a product called REALbasic recently
(www.realsoftware.com); all controls derived from the RectControl Class
come
with LockLeft, LockRight, LockTop and LockBottom properties... setting
them
to True automatically locks the control's edge in place with respect to
the
container's edges (no code necessary). This gives you one form of a
resizable control.

I am very shocked and surprised.

Have you realized that this post has been here for over 4 hours and yet NO
ONE has posted that dotNet provides such a property and advised the OP to
thus migrate all his code immediately?

(Do you think they are asleep?)

Oops! Or did I just do it for them?
