I can be done, but the button icons and controls can be tough.

Every time I have done this, new resolution size monitors come into the mix.
Not to mention wide screen, and people he turn monitors vertically, etc.
even one where the user stretched Paradox over two monitors...

One approach was to to size everything manually and store it. The apply...
 but then you are moving as sizing every time.

Once I created a copy of the form and manually resized and saved and called
the version of the form that was appropriate. But then maintaining two or
three sets of forms.

If you do get it dynamic and it is slow to open, I might use that to open
on each resolution and save.
A static dynamic copy.

Have you look at zoom to fit? I think graphics get odd though.
