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

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 allDim 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.
