Are there tricks in VB, or third-party tools that would solve this
issue?

Put code into Form_Resize to move and resize [all] the controls to where you want them to be.

Remember to use Me.ScaleWidth and Me.ScaleHeight for the measurements of the Form itself; these represent the "Client Area", i.e. the bit /inside/ the borders and menus.

Me.txtFormFillingTextBox.Move 0, 0, Me.ScaleWidth, Me.ScaleHeight
