  Here is the scenario.  I want to use a tool strip to have 10 Image buttons on one tab strip Item.  I want this tab strip item to be as big as the parent container that holds it and to dynamically grow if the form gets bigger.   Basically docking the tool strip item to both the top left and right.  The tool strip does this,  but the toolstrip item is only as big as the 10 buttons that are put in it.   Is this possible using the Tool strip. 
  
  Thanks,
  
  Don

  Hello Don Podluzne,
  
  Thank you for writing.
  
  RadToolStrip does not support the described functionality out of the box. However, you could implement it through the SizeChanged event in your own. Please, consider the following code:
   
  

  public Form1()

  {

      InitializeComponent();

      this.radToolStripItem1.AutoSize = false;

      this.radToolStrip1.SizeChanged += new EventHandler(radToolStrip1_SizeChanged);

  }

  void radToolStrip1_SizeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

      this.radToolStripItem1.Size = new Size(radToolStripElement1.Size.Width - 300, this.radToolStripItem1.Size.Height); 

  }

  
  Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
  
  Best wishes,
