Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the SizingGrip, StatusBarPanel.Alignment, StatusBarPanel.Width, StatusBarPanel.AutoSize, and StatusBarPanel.BorderStyle 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.

internal:
   System::Windows::Forms::StatusBar^ statusBar1;

private:
   void InitializeStatusBarPanels()
   {
      
      // Create a StatusBar control.
      statusBar1 = gcnew 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;
      
      // Associate the event-handling method with the 
      // PanelClick event.
      statusBar1->PanelClick += gcnew StatusBarPanelClickEventHandler( this, &Form1::statusBar1_PanelClick );
      
      // Create two StatusBarPanel objects to display in statusBar1.
      StatusBarPanel^ panel1 = gcnew StatusBarPanel;
      StatusBarPanel^ panel2 = gcnew 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.

      // for line numbers, while panel2 is set to the current time.
      panel1->Text = "Reserved for important information.";
      panel2->Text = System::DateTime::Now.ToShortTimeString();

Remarks

You can use this event to perform tasks when a panel within a StatusBar control is clicked. The data provided to the event through the StatusBarPanelClickEventArgs passed as a parameter to the event handler enables you to determine the StatusBarPanel that was clicked by the user in order to perform tasks on the selected panel.
