I have a RadStatusStrip at the bottom of a form. The RadStatusStrip contains a RadLabelElement which has text in it. If the form is resized such that the text does not fit in the status strip, the text completely disappears. How do I make the label text appear shortened with an ellipsis, or just shortened to fit?

Hello Mark,
Thank you for writing.
The RadStatusStrip.LayoutStyle property handles the arrangement of items when they exceed the horizontal space in the status bar. The default value is RadStatusBarLayoutStyle. which arranges items from left to right and the rightmost items that exceed the horizontal space are not visible. In order to achieve your goal, it is necessary to set the LayoutStyle property to RadStatusBarLayoutStyle.Overflow:
I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

That worked! Now I need to get it to work with a RadWaitingBarElement to the left of the RadLabelElement? If I simply add the RadWaitingBarElement on the left and set its Visibility to Visible, the RadLabelElement appears below the RadWaitingBarElement instead of to the right of it when the text of the label is too large to fit.

Hello Mark,
Thank you for writing back.
This is desired behavior for the RadStatusBarLayoutStyle.Overflow. It moves items in excess of the horizontal space to the following line. The other available option is RadStatusBarLayoutStyle.Stack. However, I think it is not appropriate for your case because the element is going to be hidden if is not enough.
I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
