Add RadWaitingBar to RadStatusStrip Q3 2009

[Dieter]

Hi,
I am using a trail version.

I try to add a WaitingBar to a StatusStrip. I use following code to archive this :

            waitingBar = new RadWaitingBar();
            waitingBar.BeginInit();
            Size waitingBarSize = new Size(this.radLabelElement2.Size.Width, this.radLabelElement2.Size.Height);
            waitingBar.MinimumSize = waitingBarSize;
            waitingBar.MaximumSize = waitingBarSize;
            waitingBar.EndInit();
            host = new RadHostItem(waitingBar);
            this.radLabelElement2.Margin = new Padding(0);
            this.radLabelElement2.Children.Add(host);

I just add a radLabel to the StatusStrip named radLabelElement2 and it worked but the appearence look a little bit strange :

I use the Desert Theme but the WaitingBar got a white border. I want is transparant. How can I archive this ?

Thanks

Hello,

the following seems to help, though I can still see a tiny area of white space. Please can you try this

radLabelElement2.BackColor = Color.Transparent
waitingBar.RootElement.BackColor = Color.Transparent

You could also change the theme of the actual waiting bar too, back to the Default theme which doesn't show any whitespace
Hope that helps
Richard
