# WinForms StepProgressBar Overview

**RadStepProgressBar** enables you to set up a visual element that displays a multi-step process via a number of different steps and a progress track bar between each step. This control can be used to track the progress of an ongoing process, booking transport tickets, user registration, etc.

## Key Features

Here are a few of the **StepProgressBar**'s main features:

* **Easily customizeable visuals**: The track bar and each step of the control can be customized by changing their default properties (like color and size) or by replacing the default indicator shape with a custom one. Read more about it the [Customize Step Item](https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/controls/track-and-status-controls/stepprogressbar/customizing-appearance/customize-step-item) section of the documentation.

* **Horizontal and vertical orientations**: The control is arranged horizontally by default (left to right). Additionally, the control can be arranged vertically (top to bottom or bottom to top).
