Adding a UserControl in RadStatusStrip

[Xavier]

Hi all,

 

I created a data navigation bar as a user control and I need to add it in a RadStatusStrip.

I know how to do this with the basic StatusStrip using ToolStripControlHost, but I don't know if it's doable and didn't find any way to make the same thing with the telerik version.

Also, I'd like to avoid putting the RadStatusStrip directly into a user control as it may have a different content depending on the form used.

Any help on how to achieve this would be appreciable.

Using  : VS2013 C#

Best regards

Hello Xavier,

Thank you for writing.

You can use RadHostItem to add the custom control. For example:

RadButton button = new RadButton() { Text = "test" };
RadHostItem host = new RadHostItem(button);
host.MinSize = new System.Drawing.Size(50, 20);
radStatusStrip1.Items.Add(host);

Let me know if you have additional questions.

Thanks it's working !
Now, I wonder if it's possible to make the User Control available in the RadStatusStrip's items list in the designer ?

Hello Xavier,

Thank you for writing back.

There is no way to add the host item at design-time. In this case, you have to configure this in the code behind.

Please let me know if there is something else I can help you with.
