  • Declare the StatusBarAdvPanel control.

    private Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.StatusBarAdvPanel statusBarAdvPanel1;
    Private statusBarAdvPanel1 As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.StatusBarAdvPanel
  • Initialize the control and add it to your form.

    this.statusBarAdvPanel1 = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.StatusBarAdvPanel();
     this.statusBarAdvPanel1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(48, 128);
     this.Controls.Add(this.statusBarAdvPanel1);
    Me.statusBarAdvPanel1 = New Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.StatusBarAdvPanel()
     Me.statusBarAdvPanel1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(48, 128)
     Me.Controls.Add(Me.statusBarAdvPanel1)
  • Customize the control’s look and feel using the properties given below.

    this.statusBarAdvPanel1.BackgroundColor = new Syncfusion.Drawing.BrushInfo(Syncfusion.Drawing.GradientStyle.BackwardDiagonal, System.Drawing.Color.PaleVioletRed, System.Drawing.Color.PeachPuff);
     this.statusBarAdvPanel1.BorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
     this.statusBarAdvPanel1.HAlign = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.HorzFlowAlign.Left;
     this.statusBarAdvPanel1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(160, 184);
     this.statusBarAdvPanel1.PanelType = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.StatusBarAdvPanelType.LongDate;
     this.statusBarAdvPanel1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(216, 48);
    Me.statusBarAdvPanel1.BackgroundColor = New Syncfusion.Drawing.BrushInfo(Syncfusion.Drawing.GradientStyle.BackwardDiagonal, System.Drawing.Color.PaleVioletRed, System.Drawing.Color.PeachPuff)
     Me.statusBarAdvPanel1.BorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black
     Me.statusBarAdvPanel1.HAlign = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.HorzFlowAlign.Left
     Me.statusBarAdvPanel1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(160, 184)
     Me.statusBarAdvPanel1.PanelType = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.StatusBarAdvPanelType.LongDate
     Me.statusBarAdvPanel1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(216, 48)
