Setting the width of a RadProgressBarElement

[Allan]

I have a problem setting the width of the RadProgressBarElement so it resizes automatically to the content.
When i change the text in the element I would like it to resize so the text fits inside it instead of it diaspearing out of therighthandside.
I have tried setting the autosize setting to any given variation, but with no result.

Any ideas?

Regards Allan

PS: The RadProgressBarElement is added to a RadStatusStrip.

Hi Allan,

Thanks for writing.

I am afraid the width of the RadProgressBarElement cannot be set automatically however you can do the same easily using some code. The work-around is to measure the string you want to set and set the size of the RadProgressBarElement to the string width. Please see the code snippet below:

Graphics g = radStatusStrip1.CreateGraphics();
int width = (int)g.MeasureString(radProgressBarElement1.Text, radProgressBarElement1.Font).Width + 10;
radProgressBarElement1.Size = new Size(width, radProgressBarElement1.Size.Height);

Please write back if you have other questions.

Kind regards,
