1. How can I determine the maximum width of a toolbar?
2. Is there a simple way to set the toolbar to always use 100% of the available space?
3. Is there an event I can listen to when the maximum width of the toolbar changes?

Hi Etienne,

1. The width of the toolbar depends on the width of IE window. You can determine the current width using the 'Width' or 'Size' properties.
2. What do you mean? Please clarify the question.
3. You can use the SizeChanged event. It occurs when IE window is resized.

Thanks for the answers.

2. What do you mean? Please clarify the question.


I was hoping that there's a toolbar property that can be set to have the toolbar automatically resize itself to use 100% of the horizontal space without me having to write code to resize and listen for size changes. I thought it might exist seeing that toolbars do typically use 100% of the width of the browser window.

Hi Etienne,

Please try to use the ToolStrip component on the toolbar. It is resized automatically when the size of the toolbar is changed.
