See more:

my main window fit all resolution expect 1280X600.my some control location(Y-axis) is above 600. help me.

What I have tried:

if(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width==1280 && Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height==600)
            {
                float xRatio = (float)(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width) / 1024f;
                float yRatio = (float)(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height) / 768f;
                int newWidth = (int)(600 * xRatio);
                int newHeight = (int)(400 * yRatio);
                int newInspectionWidth = (int)(201 * xRatio);
                int newInspectionHeight = (int)(136 * yRatio);
                int newshiftWidth = (int)(368 * xRatio);
                int newshiftHeight = (int)(134 * yRatio);
                int newgb1Width = (int)(24 * xRatio);
                int newgb1Height = (int)(134 * yRatio);
                 pictureBox1.Size = new Size(newWidth, newHeight);
                gb_InspectionStatistics.Size = new Size(newInspectionWidth, newInspectionHeight);
                groupBoxShift.Size = new Size(newshiftWidth, newshiftHeight);
                groupBox1.Size = new Size(newgb1Width, newgb1Height);

I don't understand the calculation within your provided code. I suppose you try a kind of scaling.
But when you ask for Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height==600 - why do you divide inside your scaling with 768 to get your faktor ?

Solution 2

You should design your form using the lowest resolution, an alternative might be to activate scrollbars, see: c# - Enable scroll bars in windows forms - Stack Overflow[^]

Solution 1

Make your form scrollable, or change to a tab-base system where some of the controls are on one tab, and other controls are on another.

without any form scrollable, any other solution?

I mentioned an alternative - use tabs.

I think it's a mistake to try and handle arbitrary Form resizing by calculating ratios for each Control:

1 Fonts: smaller sizes are "optically adjusted" for readability at certain fixed sizes.

2 Recursion: doing it for top-level Controls requires doing it for contained Controls; potentially a lot of calculation; high chance of distracting visual artifacts as multiple resize events are triggered.

If you really require arbitrary resizing, use WPF.

What you can do in WinForms:

1 use Control Anchor and Dock Properties to automatically handle resizing.

2 use Container Controls that have inherent layout structure like: TabControl, TableLayoutPanel, etc.
