Dynamic Control Creation - Expand Form?

No.
The way I ususally do is, instead of putting them directly on a form,
put all the controls inside a panel(InsidePanel) inside another panel
(OuterPanel). Adjust the InsidePanel.width and InsidePanel.length to
accomodate all the controls whenever you add a new control. The
OuterPanel should fit the length and width of the form (so customize
OuterPanel.Width and OuterPanel.Length in the form_resize event). Put a
scroll bar (or two) on the form. Use the value of the scroll bars to
control the top and left position of the InsidePanel, essentially
moving it inside the OuterPanel.
