Namespace:   System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:  System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)

Public Enumeration StatusBarPanelBorderStyle

Member nameDescription
None

No border is displayed.

Raised

The StatusBarPanel is displayed with a three-dimensional raised border.

Sunken

The StatusBarPanel is displayed with a three-dimensional sunken border.

This enumeration is used by the BorderStyle property of the StatusBarPanel class. The BorderStyle property enables you to specify the style of border to display on a StatusBarPanel within a StatusBar.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the StatusBarPanelBorderStyle enumeration 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 event-handling method.


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. The panel1 object is reserved
    ' for line numbers, while panel2 is set to the current time.
    panel1.Text = "Reserved for important information."
    panel2.Text = System.DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString

    ' Set a tooltip for panel2
    panel2.ToolTipText = "Click time to display seconds"

    ' Display panels in statusBar1 and add them to the
    ' status bar's StatusBarPanelCollection.
    statusBar1.ShowPanels = True
    statusBar1.Panels.Add(panel1)
    statusBar1.Panels.Add(panel2)

    ' Add the StatusBar to the form.
    Me.Controls.Add(statusBar1)
End Sub


' If the user clicks the status bar, check the text of the 
' StatusBarPanel.  If the text equals a short time string,
' change it to long time display.
Private Sub statusBar1_PanelClick(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As StatusBarPanelClickEventArgs) _
        Handles statusBar1.PanelClick
    If (e.StatusBarPanel.Text = _
        System.DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString) Then
        e.StatusBarPanel.Text = System.DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString
    End If
