StatusStrip - Add a button without the dropdown arrow to the right of it

Question

I know there is a ToolStripSplitButton...

ToolStripSplitButtonWithDropDown

... but is there any way to use that button object without the dropdown arrow to the right of it. Ending up with JUST an image that's a button?

I swear sometimes... I stare at something for 10 mins and can not see it... I look on the stack and can't find a quick and simple answer... So I ask it and spend 10 mins asking it... After I'm done I look back to the other monitor and it slaps me in the face... Then I go to answer my own question to help others out... 30 mins later I continue to code... Gezz... – Arvo Bowen Aug 22 '14 at 17:23

I couldn't find this property, but setting "ShowDropDownArrow" to false provided the same effect. – TEK May 16 '15 at 12:20

DropdownButtonWidth for [ToolStripSplitButton](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.toolstripsplitbutton%28v=vs.110%29.aspx) and ShowDropDownArrow for [toolStripDropDownButton](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.toolstripdropdownbutton%28v=vs.110%29.aspx) – Repeat Spacer Jun 01 '15 at 12:49

Use ToolStripDropDownButton wo dropdown items.

Set ToolStripDropDownButton.ShowDropDownArrow = false;

(I tried a method "Set the DropdownButtonWidth to 0", but to me continues to see several Pixels from black triangle)

Weird. It works perfect for me. I'm always working in c#v4 maybe that's something new in new framework? – Arvo Bowen Jun 12 '16 at 15:45
I am working in 4.5.1 and I see the pixels too. But using a DropDownButton works great. – Dave Ludwig Feb 17 '17 at 16:27
