C# control StatusStrip use

StatusStrip control: Status bar control.Usually at the bottom of the form, it is used to display information about objects on the form, or to display application information.

Includes: StatusLabel, progressBar, DropDownButton, and splitButton controls.Text, icons, or both can be displayed.

Example usage: this.toolStripStatusLabel2.Text = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();//Display the current date of the system on the taskbar

First learn about StatusStrip: The preferred StatusStrip is a control in the Form, and it is also a large control, which contains many sub-controls, and these sub-controls are stored in the control group.

When we want to use StatusStrip,

First define the StatusStrip,

Then define the ToolStrip control,

Define the ToolStrip control group again,

Third, add the ToolStrip control to the control group,

Fourth, add the control group to the StatusStrip,

Finally, the StatusStrip should be added to the form.

Example:

In this example, a taskbar is added to the Form form, and Test is displayed on the left side of the taskbar.

First, the addition method in design mode is:

Add a StatusStrip control to the form.Add a ToolStripLabel control to the StatusStrip.Set the Text property of the ToolStripLabel control to the message displayed at runtime (ie, Test).

Second, the process of adding in code mode is:

1. Define StatusStrip

2. Define Control (ToolStripLabel)

3. Define control group (ToolStripItem)

4. Add the control to the control group (Items.AddRange)

5. Add StatusStrip to Form

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
#region AddStatusStrip
//1. Define the StatusStrip to be added
StatusStrip sb = new StatusStrip();
//2.Define the controls in the StatusStrip project, where ToolStripLabel is a control similar to label, now used to display text
ToolStripLabel tsl = new ToolStripLabel();
//Text content to be displayed
tsl.Text =“Test”;
//3. Define the item to be in StatusStrip
ToolStripItem[] tsi = new ToolStripItem[1];
tsi[0] = tsl;
//4. Add the itemGo to StatusStrip
sb.Items.AddRange(tsi);
//5. Add StatusStrip to the form
this.Controls.Add(sb);
#endregion
}
MenuStrip:

 Add the menu bar control MenuStrip on the form, directly press and hold the MenuStrip, and drag it to the Windows Form on the right

StatusStrip:

 is used to give some hints to the user in the interface, for example, after logging in to a system, the user name, system time and other information of the logged in person will be displayed on the status bar.The text cannot be edited directly on the status bar, and other controls need to be added to assist.

Click the newly added status bar control in the interface shown above, the drop-down menu as shown below will be displayed,

Including label control (StatusLabel), progress bar (ProgressBar), drop-down list button (DropDownButton), split button (SplitButton).

ToolStrip:

 Drag the ToolStrip control directly into the Windows Form from the Toolbox.For beauty and interface unity, it should be dragged to the bottom of the menu bar, as shown in the following figure.![Insert image description here](https://img-blog.csdnimg.cn/e889843a61574c0bb1b925546e4b19d0.png)
