Description

I was sick and tired of seeing all the control resizers in planetsource, so i just made this myself and wanted to post it, cause someone might actually find it useful. All it does is when the form is resized, it changes all the controls (command buttons, lines, text boxes etc) to make the controls still look like they're in the right place. ie: If i had a command button that wa the size of the form, normally when i change the forms size, the command button is either too big for the form, or too little. With this, the command button is automatically resized so its still in the same proportion with the form.
