Hello...

I am attempting to get a RadWaitingBar to work in a RadStatusStrip and having some issues...  my status strip is build like this...

RadWaitingBar (200px) |  RadLabelElement (Spring) | RadLabelElement (200px)

I found the article of putting the RadWaitingBar in a RadHostItem at...

http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/statusstrip/radwaitingbar-in-radstatusstrip.aspx

and followed the instructions but still the center LabelElement is over-springing all the way to the left underneath the RadHost + RadWaitingBar...

I am building this entirely in code due to the RadHostItem...

private RadWaitingBar waitingBar = new RadWaitingBar(); 
private RadLabelElement _statusLabelElementCenter= new RadLabelElement(); 
private RadLabelElement _statusLabelElementRight= new RadLabelElement(); 
 
waitingBar.BeginInit();  
waitingBar.Size = new Size(200, 16);  
waitingBar.MinimumSize = new Size(200, 16);   
waitingBar.MaximumSize = new Size(200, 16); 
waitingBar.EndInit(); 
 
statusLabelElementCenter.AutoSize = true
statusLabelElementCenter.Margin = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(1); 
statusLabelElementCenter.Text = "Here is some really long text that shows how the controls are overlapped."
 
statusLabelElementRight.AutoSize = false
statusLabelElementRight.Size = new Size(200, 16); 
statusLabelElementRight.Margin = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(1); 
statusLabelElementRight.Text = "Right Label"
 
//WaitingBar in RadHostItem, RadHostItem in PanelElement, based 
//upon suggestions in previous post. 
RadStatusBarPanelElement stripPanel = new RadStatusBarPanelElement(); 
stripPanel.Size = new Size(200, 16); 
stripPanel.Padding = new Padding(0); 
stripPanel.Children.Add(new RadHostItem(waitingBar)); 
 
radStatusStrip1.BeginInit(); 
radStatusStrip1.Items.Add(stripPanel); 
radStatusStrip1.Items.Add(statusLabelElementCenter); 
radStatusStrip1.Items.Add(statusLabelElementRight); 
radStatusStrip1.SetSpring(statusLabelElementCenter, true); 
radStatusStrip1.EndInit(); 




when I run this... I get the following (attached image).... as you can see, the RadWaitingBar is on top of the center LabelElement.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Okay, I seem to have solved this one myself...

a few issues...

  1. I had not set the size of the PanelElement or set the AutoSize to false. (this was the main issue)
  2. The PanelItem was not actually needed in the end. Adding the RadHostItem directly to the StatusStrip was fine. I had to set the size of the RadHostItem and also set Autosize = false as I did for the PanelElement.

I still feel this is a bug - for the reason that one cannot handle the item when the container is marked to spring to available size.
