Ahh...responsive layouts in VB, those were the days. Cramming everything into a frame, and looping through each widget to set width to 49% of the frame.....every time they moved/resized the form. It seems a lot more pleasant in my memory that it likely was at the time.


I have some comparison, because I worked with Oracle Forms and qt3 at the same time in my first job. Forms weren't VB, but the principle was the same - everything was set manually.

Once customer bought new monitors and we had to "upgrade" all forms from 800x600 to 1024x768. Took us 3 months. Qt forms worked fine out of the box.
