How to make windows form app resize correctly

Question

I'm developing a windows form GUI, and came up with this tricky problem: When windows resolution is set to 100%, everything is normal, Good Sample:

whereas when windows resolution is set to 150%, the graphical displays as well as the texts failed to autosize correctly, blocks messed up with each other, Bad sample:

Any advice would be helpful! Thanks.

Maybe try to use ```Dock``` or ```Anchor``` - I don't know if it's what you're looking for but you can give it a try. — , Dec 08 '20 at 21:37

Thanks guys and shout out to Ken White I've found my solution here: Creating a DPI-Aware Application

In short I added following and it worked:

namespace myApplication
{
    static class Program
    {
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            // ***this line is added***
            if (Environment.OSVersion.Version.Major >= 6)
                SetProcessDPIAware();

            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application.Run(new MainForm());
        }

        // ***also dllimport of that function***
        [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll")]
        private static extern bool SetProcessDPIAware();
    }
}
