There is no 'automatic' about resizing your form to your resolution.

You can react to the Form.Resize event, and manually loop through all your controls to resize and relocate them.

If you take a little bit of thought about your resizing and repositioning it can all happen dynamically.

The first control (lets say a button) is resized to 10% of the form.ClientArea.Width.
Then the other 20 buttons are sized to be the same as the first.
Then you position your second groupbox to an offset from the first groupbox

groupbox2.Location = new point (groupbox1.Bounds.Right + 5, groupbox.Location.Y);

And so on. There is nothing fancy about it, just brute force of starting at the upper-left corner control and sliding everything over and down by a percentage of the overall form size.

This is one of the reasons I'm making the transition from WinForms to WPF where this is handled REALLY REALLY nice.

or just set the ANCHOR property of the control...
