Cómo: Utilizar la propiedad Spring de manera interactiva en un control StatusStrip

Artículo

Puede utilizar la propiedad Spring para colocar un control ToolStripStatusLabel en un control StatusStrip. La propiedad Spring determina si el control ToolStripStatusLabel rellena automáticamente el espacio disponible en el control StatusStrip.

Ejemplo

En el ejemplo de código siguiente se muestra cómo utilizar la propiedad Spring para colocar un control ToolStripStatusLabel en un control StatusStrip. El controlador de eventos Click realiza una operación or-exclusiva (XOR) para cambiar el valor de la propiedad Spring.

Para utilizar este ejemplo de código, compile y ejecute la aplicación y haga clic en Middle (Spring) en el control StatusStrip para intercambiar el valor de la propiedad Spring.

Imports System.Windows.Forms

Class Form4

   ' Declare the ToolStripStatusLabel.
   Private middleLabel As ToolStripStatusLabel


   Public Sub New()
      ' Create a new StatusStrip control.
      Dim ss As New StatusStrip()

      ' Add the leftmost label.
      ss.Items.Add("Left")

      ' Handle middle label separately -- action will occur
      ' when the label is clicked.
      middleLabel = New ToolStripStatusLabel("Middle (Spring)")
      AddHandler middleLabel.Click, AddressOf middleLabel_Click
      ss.Items.Add(middleLabel)

      ' Add the rightmost label
      ss.Items.Add("Right")

      ' Add the StatusStrip control to the controls collection.
      Me.Controls.Add(ss)
    End Sub

   ' This event hadler is invoked when the 
   ' middleLabel control is clicked. It toggles
   ' the value of the Spring property.
    Sub middleLabel_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

        ' Toggle the value of the Spring property.
        middleLabel.Spring = middleLabel.Spring Xor True

        ' Set the Text property according to the
        ' value of the Spring property. 
        middleLabel.Text = IIf(middleLabel.Spring, _
        "Middle (Spring - True)", "Middle (Spring - False)")
    End Sub
