go to to the toolbar
->select the status-bar from the tool bar
->select the properties of status bar.(triangle which is displayed on status bar)
->click the edit items..add label
->go to the properties of label.. select the text property of label enter a text like "NAME" press "space bar " for how many spaces you need that many times...
ex: if enter name and click one time to space bar then it gives one space after name like this way how much gap you need press that many time the space bar..

->next add any other label give a name to it,and space bar...

name date year..... like this way..

it may useful for you try it..

Solution 2

Try setting AutoSize to False first and then set the width. Instead, you could also set MinWidth instead of Width. MinWidth will work with AutoSize but prevents the panel from becoming too small.

Good luck!
