How to: Set the Size of Status-Bar Panels
Note
The ToolStripStatusLabel control replaces and adds functionality to the StatusBar control; however, the StatusBar control is retained for both backward compatibility and future use, if you choose.
Each instance of the StatusBarPanel class within a StatusBar Control control has a number of dynamic properties that determine its width and resize behavior at run time.
To set the size of a panel
In a procedure, set the AutoSize, MinWidth, and Width properties (or any subset therein) for the status-bar panels using their index passed through the Panels property of the StatusBarPanel collection.
Public Sub SetStatusBarPanelSize() ' Create panel and set text property. StatusBar1.Panels.Add("One") ' Set properties of panels. StatusBar1.Panels(0).AutoSize = StatusBarPanelAutoSize.Spring StatusBar1.Panels(0).Width = 200 ' Enable the StatusBar control to display panels. StatusBar1.ShowPanels = True End Sub
public void SetStatusBarPanelSize() { // Create panel and set text property. statusBar1.Panels.Add("One"); // Set properties of panels. statusBar1.Panels[0].AutoSize = StatusBarPanelAutoSize.Spring; statusBar1.Panels[0].Width = 200; statusBar1.ShowPanels = true; }
public: void SetStatusBarPanelSize() { // Create panel and set text property. statusBar1->Panels->Add("One"); // Set properties of panels. statusBar1->Panels[0]->AutoSize = StatusBarPanelAutoSize::Spring; statusBar1->Panels[0]->Width = 200; statusBar1->ShowPanels = true; }
