ToolStrip.Anchor Property
Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Use the Anchor property to define how a ToolStrip 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.

The Anchor and Dock properties are mutually exclusive. Only one can be set at a time, and the last one set takes precedence. |
The following code example demonstrates the syntax for setting common ToolStrip properties, including the Anchor property.
// This is an example of some common ToolStrip property settings. // toolStrip1.AllowDrop = false; toolStrip1.AllowItemReorder = true; toolStrip1.AllowMerge = false; toolStrip1.Anchor = ((System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles)(((System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Top | System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Left) | System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Right))); toolStrip1.AutoSize = false; toolStrip1.CanOverflow = false; toolStrip1.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.Cross; toolStrip1.DefaultDropDownDirection = System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDownDirection.BelowRight; toolStrip1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.None; toolStrip1.GripMargin = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(3); toolStrip1.Items.AddRange(new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem[] { toolStripButton1}); toolStrip1.ImageScalingSize = new System.Drawing.Size(20, 20); toolStrip1.LayoutStyle = System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripLayoutStyle.HorizontalStackWithOverflow; toolStrip1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0); toolStrip1.Margin = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(1); toolStrip1.Name = "toolStrip1"; toolStrip1.Padding = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(0, 0, 2, 0); toolStrip1.RenderMode = System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripRenderMode.System; toolStrip1.ShowItemToolTips = false; toolStrip1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(109, 273); toolStrip1.Stretch = true; toolStrip1.TabIndex = 0; toolStrip1.TabStop = true; toolStrip1.Text = "toolStrip1"; toolStrip1.TextDirection = System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripTextDirection.Vertical90;
