HOW-TO
Put a RadProgressBar or a RadWaitingBar in a StatusStrip and align it.

SOLUTION
To achieve this, follow these steps:
  1. Create a new instance of the RadProgressBar (RadWaitingBar) via drag and drop from the toolbox or create it programmatically.
  2. In the form's constructor after the InitializeComponent method call or in the form Load event handler use the code snippet below:
     
    ToolStripControlHost host = new ToolStripControlHost(this.radProgressBar1);
    this.statusStrip1.Items.Add(host); 
     
  3. Let's say you want to align the RadProgressBar (RadWaitingBar) to the right in the StatusStrip:
     
    host.Alignment = ToolStripItemAlignment.Right;
    statusStrip1.LayoutStyle = ToolStripLayoutStyle.HorizontalStackWithOverflow     ;
     
  4. Finally, to prevent the StatusStrip from stretching and shrinking everytime the RadProgressBar (RadWaitingBar) is shown or hidden, add this line:

    statusStrip1.AutoSize = false;
