Specifies the height of the control. If this attribute is undefined the height will be determined by the size of the parent bar. If the bar is aligned top or bottom the height of the control will be equal to the bar's size minus twice its padding. If the bar is aligned left or right the height will be proportional to the width, so as to maintain the same aspect ratio as the control's skin graphic.

If this attribute is defined and the width attribute is not, the control's width will be adjusted to maintain the same aspect ratio as the skin graphic only if the parent bar is top or bottom aligned. Otherwise the width will not be adjusted and the skin graphic will be scaled non-proportionally.

Non-numeric string values for the height attribute are only valid if the parent bar is aligned left or right. They indicate that the control's height should be based on the available space remaining in the bar, after the other controls and bar spacing are taken into account. If two or more controls have string values, the available space is divided amongst them based on the relative lengths of the strings. For instance if there are only two controls in a bar and the first has a height of '*' while the second has a height of '**', the first will occupy one third of the bar while the second occupies the other two thirds.
