Summary

Resizer Wizard by Seekford Solutions

URLs: seekford-resizer-wizard, seekford resizer wizard, seekfordresizerwizard, seekford

Add resize functionality to your application's forms. Resizer Wizard is an ActiveX component that provides robust resizing capability. Simply drop the control onto the form, and you instantly have the ability to resize all controls proportionally. Includes built-in support for Sheridan Tab control and also resizes properly with toolbars present. Exclusion properties give ultimate control over what gets changed.

Many programmers find it not only painful, but very annoying to have to add resize code to their Forms. Many times, deadline pressure makes it so that the Form has to be made Fixed(meaning the user can't adjust the size). With customers using different resolutions, the software has to be built to work on the lowest resolution, meaning that users having high resolutions will see a small Form.

With Resizer Wizard, Fixed Forms will never have to be in your application. All of your forms can be made resizable with the simplicity of Adding the control to your form.

No hand coding is neccessary. Drop the control on a Visual Basic Form and it automaticaly begins working. The Exclusion Wizard is available via the Property Pages which lets you exclude controls you don't want resized, you can even choose just to not effect certain properties on a control level basis.

Resizer Wizard not only adjusts the Left, Top, Width, and Height properties it also calculates what the Font Size should be based on the original font size used at development time. Resizer Wizard also has helper methods that can be used in your application such as a method that centers your Form on the display, and another one that makes your Form adjust its size to be the Maximum width and height of the available client area(Note: its not maximized, just sized to be that level). You can also specify the Minimum size the Form should be allowed to be.

All of the above reasons should be enough to warrant the use of Resizer Wizard in your application. Resizer Wizard will pay for itself in the use of it on one or two forms. Not to mention all of the Forms in an application, or even multiple applications.

NOTE: This component is only designed to work with Visual Basic applications.

Many special cases are also handled by Resize Wizard.

Toolbar Controls are recognized and the controls will be adjusted to react to that fact it does not resize.

Coolbar controls - handled the same way as ToolBars

Microsoft Tabbed Dialog created by Sheridan (SSTab) is handled in all cases of tab size and rows, as well as orientation.

Line control are properly resized proportionally; these have to be handled completely different due to different properties.

All container controls are recognized as such and handled properly.

Most custom controls will work properly with Resize Wizard, if a problem exists, just use the Exclusion Wizard.
