StatusStripEx visible/invisible

Hi,

I've a RibbonForm with a StatusStripEx docked at BottomMost.

Now I want to set this StatusStripEx depending on a menu item to visible/invisible. Unfortunately setting it to invisibe will hide the strip, but the background of the strip still remains visible.

How can I hide the backgruod too?

Best regard

Michael

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

When using DockStyleEx.BottomMost in StatusStripEx, extra area is created below the RibbonForm and StatusStripEx is added in it. So when setting its visibility to false, we are just hiding it not removing. So the background will be displayed after hiding it too. It is its default behaviour.

Please let me know if any concerns.

Hi Michael,

To hide the background of the StatusStripEx when hiding it, as a workaround, we can set the DockingStyle to None when hiding it and set DockingStyle to BottomMost when showing again. The following code snippet illustrates this:


private void showStatusBarToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.statusStripEx1.Dock = DockStyleEx.BottomMost;
this.statusStripEx1.Visible = true;

}

private void hideToolStripMenuItem_Clickobject sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.statusStripEx1.Dock = DockStyleEx.None;
this.statusStripEx1.Visible = false;
}


Please refer the below sample in the following link:
