Hello,

I want to resize my windows form, but it must keep the aspect ratio 16:9.
How can I do this?

Greetings,

Well, the way I'd do it, would be to use the calculator and then multiply/divide both the numbers with a constant. For example, if I want to get the ratio of an A4 size paper in paint then I'd multiply the dimensions by 2 or 3 (210*297).

Code: Select all

Dim ratio As Double = 16 / 9
'To get the width: Width = ratio * Height'
'To get the Height: Height = Width / ratio'

I can't test it now since I'm on my iPod. When I get to my PC I can also give a better example.

Your code will be:

Code: Select all

    Private Sub Form1_Resize(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Resize
        
           Me.Width = Me.Height * 1.77
    End Sub

Or better way.

+REP if helped.
