Resize evenly GroupBoxs when resizing form

I have a form (600x500 px). In this form there are 2 groupboxes. The first one being 260 px and the second one 330 px.

What I would like is that when I resize the form, those two boxes resize with it, but by keeping the proportions. (the second one bigger then the first).

No matter how I set the Anchor points, I dont seem to be able to do this.

You can achieve that with a TableLayoutPanel like this:

  • Add a TableLayoutPanel on your Form. Set the anchor to Left, Top, right (and Bottom in needed) or set Dock property to Fill
  • Add two columns on this TableLayoutPanel (by default there is two columns and two rows, so remove the last row)
  • Insert your GroupBoxs to each cell
  • set the Dock property to Fill or Top for each GroupBox
  • By default the Me.TableLayoutPanel1.ColumnStyles is System.Windows.Forms.SizeType.Percent, so just adjust the first column with in designer as you need.

Result:

After resizing (image is reduced so you can see that it keeps proportion)
