Auto Size A Tab in a Gui

[GNGNUT]

hi guys 

I'm sorry if this has been asked before,

I'm trying to get my head around the auto resize of Gui's 

Including Tabs in the gui, 

I have read the Help file but i am still struggling to understand to resize all of this at the same time, 

i have generated gui(s) in the past but always kept them a static size - but this one its not practical to keep as 750 x 480, 

as I'm looking to expand my knowledge and build a dynamic gui which can grow in size on its own, 

can anyone simplify - to and idiot like me of how the process works, 

does it need an action/event  in order  to auto resize, ? is a main question  

below is sample script I'm trying to get to resize, ( tab, button(s) and labels ) I have been reading forum post about adding resize and using

GUICtrlSetResizing - but not sure if I'm using this correctly, if i am - even when i max the window every thing stays the same size, and shifts to top corner, 

again sorry - I'm stupid and simple minded  and sometimes need it explained differently,

kind regards 

Craig
