ToolStripItem.Anchor Property

.NET Framework 3.0

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

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)

Syntax

C++

public AnchorStyles Anchor { get; set; }

/** @property */
public AnchorStyles get_Anchor ()

/** @property */
public void set_Anchor (AnchorStyles value)

JScript

public function get Anchor () : AnchorStyles

public function set Anchor (value : AnchorStyles)

XAML

Not applicable.

Property Value

One of the AnchorStyles values.

Exceptions

Exception type	Condition
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.
