How to make taskbarbox fill thw whole taskbar area.

[Lan Mo]

Hello There, I have a form with a taskbar left-docked. The taskbar(Navy color) has only one taskbarbox(blue color) which has a gradient panel (red color). I want to the gradient panel to fill the whole available space of the taskbar whenever the form is resized. Please see my attached sample. How can I do it? Thanks you. Lan

Hi Lan,

You can achieve this by setting the XPTaskBarBox''s PreferredChildPanelHeight to the xptaskBar''s height as follows in the Form_Resize event

private void Form1_Resize(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.xpTaskBarBox1.PreferredChildPanelHeight = this.xpTaskBar1.Height - 30;
}

Here, I have reduced the XPTaskBarBox''s Header height from the xptaskBarBox''s height.

Please let me know if this meets your requirements. Thanks for using Essential Tools.

Regards,
Mano
