How to: Change the Spacing and Alignment of ToolStrip Items in Windows Forms

The xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip control fully supports layout features such as sizing, the spacing of xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem controls relative to each other, the arrangement of controls on the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip, and the spacing of controls relative to the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.

Because the default value of the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.AutoSize%2A property is true, controls are sized automatically unless you set the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.AutoSize%2A property to false.

To manually size a ToolStripItem

Set the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.AutoSize%2A property to false for the associated control.
```
ToolStripButton1.AutoSize = False  
```
```
toolStripButton1.AutoSize = false;  
```
Set the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.Size%2A property the way you want for the associated xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.

To set the spacing of a ToolStripItem

Insert the desired values, in pixels, into the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.Margin%2A property of the associated control.

The values of the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.Margin%2A property specify the spacing between the item and adjacent items in this order: Left, Top, Right, and Bottom.
```
ToolStripTextBox1.Margin = New System.Windows.Forms.Padding _  
    (3, 0, 3, 0)  
```
```
toolStripTextBox1.Margin = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding
    (3, 0, 3, 0);  
```

To align a ToolStripItem to the right side of the ToolStrip

Set the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.Alignment%2A property to xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItemAlignment.Right for the associated control. By default, xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.Alignment%2A is set to xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItemAlignment.Left, which aligns controls to the left side of the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.
```
ToolStripSplitButton1.Alignment = _  
    System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItemAlignment.Right  
```
```
toolStripSplitButton1.Alignment =
    System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItemAlignment.Right;  
```

To arrange ToolStrip items on the ToolStrip

Set the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.LayoutStyle%2A property to the value of xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripLayoutStyle that you want.

ToolStripDropDown1.LayoutStyle = _  
    System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripLayoutStyle.Flow

toolStripDropDown1.LayoutStyle =
    System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripLayoutStyle.Flow;
