Control Bar Position

In This Topic

You can use the ControlBar.PositionMode property to set the position mode of the ControlBar.

When the ControlBar.PositionMode property value is set to Dock, the Control bar will dock in the parent form. When the parent form's size is changed, the control bar will adjust the position.

If you want to make a space between the Form's border and the ControlBar, you can use the ControlBar.Margin property to make the space. The following table shows which property takes effect when the DockPosition is changed:

DockPosition	Margin
TopLeft	Top, Left
TopCenter	Top
TopRight	Top, Right
MiddleLeft	Left
MiddleCenter	Not available
MiddleRight	Right
BottomLeft	Bottom, Left
BottomCenter	Bottom
BottomRight	Bottom, Right

When the ControlBar.PositionMode property value is Floating, you can change the ControlBar's position by code or dragging it in the UI.
