When I design / modify my form and want to align some controls (same baseline, same distance) I miss a "zoom feature" to display the form at maximum size. It would be easier to make the arrangement-fine-tuning with the mouse.

Any idea to realize it?

I don't think zooming will be possible, but Own can correct me if I'm wrong.
But if you want to align multiple controls, you can select them all & then set their top or left position in the properties panel.
You can also use the arrow key on the keyboard to nudge or fine turn their position.

Hi, one of my former colleagues pointed me to use a notepad window as a "ruler" to check if all the controls are "in line". But you should deactivate Windows Visual Styles before.

Maybe I found a tool which helps (not yet tested):
