Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Forms

Assembly:

System.Windows.Forms.dll

Source:

ToolStripItem.cs

Gets or sets the edges of the container to which a ToolStripItem is bound and determines how a ToolStripItem is resized with its parent.

public:
 property System::Windows::Forms::AnchorStyles Anchor { System::Windows::Forms::AnchorStyles get(); void set(System::Windows::Forms::AnchorStyles value); };

[System.ComponentModel.Browsable(false)]
public System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles Anchor { get; set; }

[<System.ComponentModel.Browsable(false)>]
member this.Anchor : System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles with get, set

Public Property Anchor As AnchorStyles

Property Value

AnchorStyles

One of the AnchorStyles values.

Attributes

BrowsableAttribute

Exceptions

InvalidEnumArgumentException

The value is not one of the AnchorStyles values.

Remarks

Use the Anchor property to define how a ToolStripItem is automatically resized as its parent control is resized. Anchoring a control to its parent control ensures that the anchored edges remain in the same position relative to the edges of the parent control when the parent control is resized.

Note

The Anchor and Dock properties are mutually exclusive. Only one can be set at a time, and the last one set takes precedence.
