I've a winform and I placed a listbox in that form. When I maximize the winform the size of the list box remains same.

But I dont want like this. I want to adjust the size automatically.

Is there any default property for this?

Thank you, Nagu

Look for the anchor properties. You can set the anchor to resize automatically following the form.

The anchor has 4 sides. If you anchor to all 4 sides, the control will retain its size ratio according to the size of its parent form.
