toolStrip and statusStrip location

Question

How I can achieve something like this?

I tried to set toolstrip dock to left

toolstrip dock to none

statusstrip dock to none

Answer 1

You have a Z-order issue. Right click on the control and try "Bring to Front" or "Send to Back". You may also have to click on your other docked controls and change their z-order as well.

Answer 2

Go to your Form1.Designer.cs (From1 is the name of your form) designer generated file. Go to the section where the strips are added to the Controls collection of the form, and switch the order, like so:

this.Controls.Add(this.toolStrip1);
this.Controls.Add(this.statusStrip1);

This way the status trip will be in the right Z order (in terms of layouting too).
