ToolStripButton.Left property is missing

Question

I need to set a panel.Left property equal to a ToolStripButton.Left value:

pan1.Left = btn1.Left;

but there is no such property for ToolStripButton. Is there a solution, please.

If there is no - how to place the panel on the center of a Form.

You don't need any kind of control to infer center, but form itself:

panel1.Left = this.ClientSize.Width / 2 - panel1.Width / 2;

Thank You, it works. But, I'm wondering that a button has not .Left value. – Buena Jun 18 '12 at 08:47
If you know index `N` of ToolStripButton then you can calculate it's `Left` by such formula `toolStrip1.Left + 10 /*some padding*/ + N * toolStrip1.Items[0].Width` – Agnius Vasiliauskas Jun 18 '12 at 09:28

this works:

pan1.Location = new Point(btn1.Bounds.X,pan1.Location.Y);

Buena

nice :-) Don't forget to add `toolStrip1.Left` to `Bounds.X` if toolStrip is not docked. – Agnius Vasiliauskas Jun 18 '12 at 12:08
