StatusBarPanelAutoSize Enumeration
Specifies how a StatusBarPanel on a StatusBar control behaves when the control resizes.
[Visual Basic] <Serializable> Public Enum StatusBarPanelAutoSize [C#] [Serializable] public enum StatusBarPanelAutoSize [C++] [Serializable] __value public enum StatusBarPanelAutoSize [JScript] public Serializable enum StatusBarPanelAutoSize
Remarks
This enumeration is used by the StatusBarPanel.AutoSize property. The AutoSize property specifies how a StatusBarPanel is autosized on a StatusBar control.
Members
| Member name | Description |
|---|---|
| Contents | The width of the StatusBarPanel is determined by its contents. |
| None | The StatusBarPanel does not change size when the StatusBar control resizes. |
| Spring | The StatusBarPanel shares the available space on the StatusBar (the space not taken up by other panels whose AutoSize property is set to StatusBarPanelAutoSize.None or StatusBarPanelAutoSize.Contents) with other panels that have their AutoSize property set to StatusBarPanelAutoSize.Spring. |
Example
[Visual Basic, C#] The following code example demonstrates how to use the SizingGrip, Dock, Alignment, Width, StatusBarPanelAutoSize, and StatusBarPanelBorderStyle members and how to handle the PanelClick event. To run the example, paste the following code in a form. Call the InitializeStatusBarPanels method in the form's constructor or Load method.
[Visual Basic] Friend WithEvents statusBar1 As System.Windows.Forms.StatusBar Private Sub InitializeStatusBarPanels() ' Create a StatusBar control. statusBar1 = New StatusBar ' Dock the status bar at the top of the form. statusBar1.Dock = DockStyle.Top ' Set the SizingGrip property to false so the user cannot ' resize the status bar. statusBar1.SizingGrip = False ' Create two StatusBarPanel objects to display in statusBar1. Dim panel1 As New StatusBarPanel Dim panel2 As New StatusBarPanel ' Set the width of panel2 explicitly and set ' panel1 to fill in the remaining space. panel2.Width = 80 panel1.AutoSize = StatusBarPanelAutoSize.Spring ' Set the text alignment within each panel. panel1.Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left panel2.Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right ' Display the first panel without a border and the second ' with a raised border. panel1.BorderStyle = StatusBarPanelBorderStyle.None panel2.BorderStyle = StatusBarPanelBorderStyle.Raised ' Set the text of the panels.
