Jump to PostDo not fix the form size. Set the window state to Maximized.
Use a unique panel to fill the form. If the form size is less than expected, you can fix the panel to the desired size (+ scroll-bars size if needed).

More over, if the computer has more than one screen (sysinternals can mount 4 virtual desktops)(some video cards support more than one monitor attached in desktop extension mode)(the current screen is a virtual one like when using RDP or VNC), do you will change the screen resolution on all the 'primary' screens if the user moves the application window from one screen (or monitor) to another?
The point, IMO, is how to anchor and resize the controls depending on the current application main window size.
Let me know your opinion.

As said before, you'll need to anchor the controls depending on the expected behaviour when resizing the application's window.
As an alternate way, on the form resize event, you can manually fix the size an position of each control depending on the current form size.
Also on this event, you can fix the min size of your application window.
Hope this helps
