auto_size() [1/2]

xtd::forms::status_bar_panel_auto_size xtd::forms::status_bar_panel::auto_size ( ) const

noexcept

Gets a value indicating whether the status bar panel is automatically resized.

Returns

One of the xtd::forms::status_bar_panel_auto_size values. The default is xtd::forms::status_bar_panel_auto_size::none.

Remarks

xtd::forms::status_bar_panel objects set to xtd::forms::status_bar_panel_auto_size::contents have precedence over those panels set to the xtd::forms::status_bar_panel_auto_size::spring value. For example, a xtd::forms::status_bar_panel that has its xtd::forms::status_bar_panel::auto_size property set to xtd::forms::status_bar_panel_auto_size::spring is shortened if a xtd::forms::status_bar_panel with the xtd::forms::status_bar_panel::auto_size property set to xtd::forms::status_bar_panel_auto_size::contents requires that space.

You can use xtd::forms::status_bar_panel::auto_size to ensure that the contents of a xtd::forms::status_bar_panel are properly displayed in a xtd::forms::status_bar control that contains more than one panel. For example, you might want a panel that contains text to adjust automatically to the amount of text it is displaying (xtd::forms::status_bar_panel_auto_size::contents), while another panel on the xtd::forms::status_bar that displays an owner-drawn progress bar would need to be a fixed size (xtd::forms::status_bar_panel_auto_size::none).
