I set the TableLayoutPanel Anchor Property is None for in all group box.

The controls inside the TableLayoutPanel Anchor Property is set into top,left.

This is how my form looks like. See the screenshot below:-

Kindly do the needful.

Hey Binesh

If you want to resize your control to suit any screen size then Anchor property would plays a vital role.

As in the screenshot, it shows that it was a tab control, right?

It seems that your gridview and buttons are separated, just group it on a canvas ans set the anchor property to top, right and bottom along with your gridview and buttons to suit its position.

All done!! Just set your canvas to Dock Fill to fit into your custom tab control.

Do let me know, if it works for you.

Dear Manikandan,

This is to say that the issue still there.

There are 3 telerik RadGroupBox. Inside those there is TableLayOutPanel.

I set RadGroupBox Anchor property into None.

You need to set StartPosition to manual to make the form set start position to the value in Location Property.
public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
    this.Location = new Point(0, 0);
}
Intelisense Summary for FormStartPosition.Manual
FormStartPosition FormStartPosition.Manual
The position of the form is determined by the System.Windows.Forms.Control.Location property.
