This had me stuck for a little while. I always like to add a resize grip to my forms as it provides a bigger target for resizing the form (
remember Fitts' Law?).
In Windows forms you would simply set the SizeGripStyle for the Form to show to achieve this.
However, if you were using a StatusBar (or StatusStrip as it was called in WinForms) you could easily accidentally cover up the resize handle so you had to make sure that the StatusStrip's
various Grip related properties are set...
Fortunately, things get much simpler in WPF. The StatusBar control no longer contains any grip related nonsense and it's just a matter of setting the Window's ResizeMode to CanResizeWithGrip. And this works even if you have a StatusBar :)
Wonderful (but took me a while to find!).

Thank you very much for posting this - I thought I had to write my own control to get this to function this way!
