John,
If you do a bit of thinking first, then place controls in containers such as
Panels, and set to fill the panel, when the form resizes it will resize
automagically.
You can set panels up with docking on the top and bottom with fixed controls on
(or left and right). These will stay the fixed designed height. Then put a
panel in the middle set to fill, that will fill when the form is resized etc.
You can put expandable controls like datagrid's etc in those.

Subject: [DUG] Window resizing
So far I have written a few simple apps with fixed form size - I set them to
fit 800x600 pixels desktop as that is a safe enough bet for most users. The
windows have a few Delphi standard controls.
For users with 1000x800 or larger screens it would be nice for the app to
resize the form bigger, but I haven't done this yet. What are the basic
issues?
- I imagine detecting the system desktop size, setting form size
accordingly, and setting appropriate properties on
Controls (mainly stringgrids etc) so they resize and align OK if the form
changes size...
- Anything else to consider?
- How much of a pain is it? - ie if it's a lot I might not bother till the
next version
