How to resize a Canvas in WPF?
I need to make resizable canvas in WPF, just like in windows paint. There isn't any resize property. Do i need some extra controls to make it? I also would like to connect then to some scrollbars, so if canvas would be too big, scrollbars will be enable to scroll the canvas.
Your canvas is just a container that will allow you to define default controls, etc. within that vehicle. The canvas, then, must sit within a higher containment which is usually just a user control. The user control provides the resize properties.
What I would highly suggest is you watch these videos to learn more about WPF before you get much farther into whatever it is you are building.

Resize Controls with Form Resize
(5 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
How do I resize controls proportionally to how the form is resized? I have tried anchor and dock properties, but they don't give the result I want.
For example, I have two DataGridViews. I want one to always take up 25% of the screen and the other to take up 75%, no matter how the form is resized. Anchors and docks only stick controls to the sides of the form, but I want the control to take up a specific percentage of space.
Use a TableLayoutPanel. You can decide either during runtime or design time how many rows and columns you want. You can specify their height and width using percentage or a specific number.

How to make an ownerdraw Trackbar in WinForms
(3 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I was planning on creating a custom TrackBar class that implements from TrackBar. I want it to look/feel EXACTLY the same, other than a display on the value just to the side of the track itself.
I've been seeing that you can either let the OS draw the control, or allow the user draw it, but then the user must draw EVERYTHING. Is there a way for me to allow the OS draw the control, and then let me draw the value?
EDIT:
The key I want to emphasize is, I want to only add the drawing the value, rather than drawing the whole thing myself.

How can I get the visible area of a winform?
I tried accessing Height\Width properties but I get the size of the full window (With the minimize, close and enlarge buttons)
how can I get only the part that I can manipulate without the tool-buttons in the head of the form?
I think you mean Form.ClientSize.
The size of the client area of the form is the size of the form
excluding the borders and the title bar. The client area of a form is
the area within a form where controls can be placed. You can use this
property to get the proper dimensions when performing graphics
operations or when sizing and positioning controls on the form. To get
the size of the entire form, use the Size property or use the
individual properties Height and Width.

I'm working on windows form project which has many controls on the form but I'm looking for a way that decrease my form, while seeing all of the controls by scroll up/down.
I am trying to use FlowLayoutPanel but it aligns horizontally or vertically.(I want to set control manually)
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
Put all your controls inside a Panel control, and then set the form AutoScroll Property to true. This way you can increase both width and length of the panel and the form will automatically displays the scrollbar as needed.

I work on VS 2010 with C#. Even thought i set window state to maximum some panels of the form are not fit to screen when changing the resolution. How to solve this problem ?
This doesn't happen automatically. In order to get child controls to change their size with the parent form, you have to set some properties. Specifically, look at the Anchor and Dock properties.
Lots of questions about this already here. I can't do better than Simon's explanation.
As #Cody stated, Anchor and Dock can solve a lot of layout needs. For more complicated layouts, however, you may want to look at utilizing the TableLayoutPanel().
