ReSizer - resizing solution for MS Visual Basic 6.0

Description

The ReSizer is a powerfull and yet simple solution for management of controls positions and sizes in any MS Visual Basic 6.0 container ( Form, UserControl, UserDocument, etc ). You just place one ReSizer per container and do not write a single line of code to manage control repositioning. All standard Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 controls are supported as well as third party ActiveX controls intending to work in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, including SSTab.

How does it work

The principle behind the ReSizer functionality is a process of monitoring changes in its container's dimensions and adjustment of selected controls sizes and positions according to the proportion set.

How to set resizing properties

The simplest way is to use the property pages at design time. The affected control is selected in the form designer as you set its properties.
