I am a long-time user of the Videosoft resizing components going back to VSVBX 1.0.  Have been testing SizerOne for .Net and the new control seems LESS capable than its com predecessors.  Functionality that is either missing or I can't seem to find:

- automatic resizing of images on buttons and other controls

- automatic resizing of control fonts

Is there something I've overlooked or has the product given these up?

Thx,

Larry

The .NET version of the Sizer really is different from the ActiveX control.
Many differences are due to the fact that .NET provides some of the
properties in the original control and there's no sense in duplicating them
(Dock/Anchor). The .NET Sizer provides only one layout mode: grid (the
ActiveX control had about 8 modes). Proportional resizing is done with the
SizerLight, which does provide font scaling.

The .NET version does not provide borders around child controls or automatic
labels, which were present in the ActiveX version. We didn't think those
features were very important and left them out to see if users would request
them. So far, we haven't had any requests for those.

I think the .NET version is able to do pretty much everything the ActiveX
version did, but I could be missing something. If you post a small VB sample
built with the ActiveX, I'd be happy to take a look at it and try to explain
how to do the same things using the .NET version.

Thanks.  Through some fiddling around I finally found I could use both Sizer and SizerLigth together to gain control and font resizing together WITH the grid.  What I'm not getting is automatic resizing of any images that are placed on command buttons.

Will send a sample as soon as I can.  I'm on deadline.

The automatic labels are a huge time saver for me in vb6. once i setup the caption position (which takes 5 seconds) i only have to enter a tag value for each control. In .net i have to set up a grid and add label controls for each individual control that needs a caption - this is unacceptable. users are not complaining becuase they are not aware of of easy it is in the sizerone ocx version. Please bring back automatic labels.
