I added a statusStrip to a form and the sizing grip is huge. Is there any way to make it the size of normal grips? (Internet Explorer, Visual Studio, etc...)
Just to clarify, the grip is 3 dots high and wide but seems to be actually 4 high and wide with the last ones invisible. On my form the 3 dots take up 3/4 of the bar while on mostthey take up about 3/8. | | ScottyDoesKnow Friday, September 25, 2009 7:01 PM | They are not dots, they are rectangles. Hardcoded to 2x2 size. There are 3, not 4. Take a closer look at them with a screen zooming tool like SysInternals' ZoomIt. If they are not 2x2 then the Graphics object passed to StatusStrip.OnPaintBackground() got messed up somehow.
The more likely explanation is that your status strip simply isn't tall enough. Change its Font property.

public partial class Form1 : Form {
public Form1() {
InitializeComponent();
statusStrip1.Renderer = new MyRenderer();
}
private class MyRenderer : ToolStripProfessionalRenderer {
protected override void OnRenderStatusStripSizingGrip(ToolStripRenderEventArgs e) {
// Draw your own...
}
}
}

| | nobugz Friday, September 25, 2009 8:39 PM | Here's the difference between them. Mine is on the left, internet explorer, paint, visual studio, etc... is on the right. Changing font from 9 to 8 (minimum) didn't do anything, and I haven't changed font or height from the default. http://i36.tinypic.com/iyn7ra.png | | ScottyDoesKnow Monday, September 28, 2009 1:58 PM | Yours looks entirely normal.
