Anchors class

Determines which sides of a control are pinned to its parent container when the container is resized. A control with both Left and Right set to True, for example, keeps its left and right edges at the same distance from the container’s edges, stretching horizontally as the container grows. Controls receive this object through their inherited Anchors property.

The default is Left=True, Top=True, Right=False, Bottom=False — the control stays at the same offset from the upper-left corner of the container and does not resize. To make a control fill the bottom of its container as the form is resized, anchor it to Left, Right, and Bottom.

With txtNotes.Anchors
    .Left = True
    .Top = True
    .Right = True
    .Bottom = True
End With

Properties

Bottom

When True, the control’s bottom edge stays at the same distance from the container’s bottom edge. Boolean, default False.

Left

When True, the control’s left edge stays at the same distance from the container’s left edge. Boolean, default True.

Right

When True, the control’s right edge stays at the same distance from the container’s right edge. Boolean, default False.

Top

When True, the control’s top edge stays at the same distance from the container’s top edge. Boolean, default True.

Events

OnChanged

Raised whenever any of the four anchor flags is assigned. The hosting control listens for this event and re-applies the docking layout. Application code does not normally subscribe directly.
