Orientation

Updated on Sep 15, 2025

RadProgressBar has an Orientation property which can be set to either Horizontal or Vertical. The two allowed values specify the direction in which the control is being "filled".

Setting the Orientation property to Horizontal

XAML

	<telerik:RadProgressBar Value="35" Height="30" Width="150" Orientation="Horizontal" />

Setting the Orientation property to Horizontal

C#
	RadProgressBar progressBar = new RadProgressBar();
	progressBar.Orientation = System.Windows.Controls.Orientation.Horizontal;
VB.NET
	Dim progressBar As New RadProgressBar()
	progressBar.Orientation = System.Windows.Controls.Orientation.Horizontal

WPF RadProgressBar Horizontal Orientation

Setting the Orientation property to Vertical

XAML

	<telerik:RadProgressBar Value="35" Height="150" Width="30" Orientation="Vertical" />

Setting the Orientation property to Vertical

C#
	RadProgressBar progressBar = new RadProgressBar();
	progressBar.Orientation = System.Windows.Controls.Orientation.Vertical;
VB.NET
	Dim progressBar As New RadProgressBar()
	progressBar.Orientation = System.Windows.Controls.Orientation.Vertical

WPF RadProgressBar Vertical Orientation

Whenever you change the Orientation property, it will make sense to also change the height and width of the control since the property only changes the direction in which RadProgressBar is filled.
