How can I resize ToolStripProgressBar within a StatusStrip to use the available width when the StatusStrip width changes?
There are two other items which are fixed size.

Another simple option is to place a normal progress bar on top of the tool strip area you want the progress and set the Anchor properties to bottom, left, right. Much easier solution than handling resize events.

Ah, the ToolStripProgressBard doesn't support a Resize event, I'll just put a text box for status and then a progress bar next to it and use the resize event on that as you say.
Thanks! :thumbsup:

The ToolStripProgressBar doesn't support a Resize event - but you wouldn't want that anyway, since you are trying to cause it to throw one! I meant the StatusStrip.Resize event - sorry, I should have been clearer.

{
   toolStripProgressBar1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(statusStrip1.Width - 20, 16); 
}

Unfortunately ToolStripProgressBar doesn't support the Spring property, so you have to do it manually:
Handle the StatusStrip.Resize event, and modify the Progress bar.Width property.

toolStripProgressBar1.Width = statusDisplay.Width - 200;

Don't forget to set the ProgressBar.AutoSize property to False or changes will be ignored every time you make them.

The StatusStrip resize event never fires for me - perhaps it only works on manual changes
