See my old Answer on how to solve the problem different screen resolutions: Zom Out malfunctions when Screen resolution changes[^]. A problem of different form sizes require exact same approach.

I also need to add: Use properties MinimumSize and MaximumSize: it's also a critical thing to UI layout robustness.

Technically, it will work (the code is much more complex that is should be, also, a violation of Microsoft naming conventions) but in practice, a disaster. How it takes into account button size?! What's the "word constant", 80%, why on Earth?!
Just "3" this time, sorry...
