How to: Stretch a ToolStripTextBox to Fill the Remaining Width of a ToolStrip (Windows Forms)
When you set the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.Stretch%2A property of a xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip control to true, the control fills its container from end to end, and resizes when its container resizes. In this configuration, you may find it useful to stretch an item in the control, such as a xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripTextBox, to fill the available space and to resize when the control resizes. This stretching is useful, for example, if you want to achieve appearance and behavior similar to the address bar in Microsoft® Internet Explorer.
Example
The following code example provides a class derived from xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripTextBox called ToolStripSpringTextBox. This class overrides the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripTextBox.GetPreferredSize%2A method to calculate the available width of the parent xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip control after the combined width of all other items has been subtracted. This code example also provides a xref:System.Windows.Forms.Form class and a Program class to demonstrate the new behavior.
