The RibbonStatusBar control is added to RibbonWindow to display the current status of the application or document, similar to Microsoft Office.

            <WrapPanel>
                <TextBlock Text="Ready" Margin="10,0,0,0" Foreground="AntiqueWhite" />
                <TextBlock Text="Page No 1" Margin="20,0,0,0" Foreground="AntiqueWhite" />
            </WrapPanel>
        </syncfusion:RibbonStatusBar>
    </syncfusion:RibbonWindow.StatusBar>
    <Grid>
        <syncfusion:Ribbon x:Name="_ribbon" VerticalAlignment="Top">
            <syncfusion:RibbonTab Caption="HOME"  IsChecked="True"/>
            <syncfusion:RibbonTab Caption="VIEW"  IsChecked="False"/>
        </syncfusion:Ribbon>
    </Grid>
</syncfusion:RibbonWindow>

Create an instance of the StatusBar and assign it to RibbonStatusBar property of RibbonWindow through code behind.

//Initialize the Ribbon control.
Ribbon ribbon = new Ribbon();
ribbon.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top;

//Creating new tabs.
RibbonTab ribbonTab = new RibbonTab();
ribbonTab.Caption = "Home";
ribbonTab.IsChecked = true;

RibbonTab viewTab = new RibbonTab();
viewTab.Caption = "View";
viewTab.IsChecked = false;

//Adding tabs to the Ribbon.
ribbon.Items.Add(ribbonTab);
ribbon.Items.Add(viewTab);
grid.Children.Add(ribbon);

//Initialize the ribbon status bar.
RibbonStatusBar ribbonStatusBar = new RibbonStatusBar();
ribbonStatusBar.Background = Brushes.DarkBlue;

//Initializing wrap panel.
WrapPanel wrapPanel = new WrapPanel();

double left = 10, top = 0, right = 0, bottom = 0;
double left1 = 20, top1 = 0, right1 = 0, bottom1 = 0;

//Initialize the TextBlock and add the values.
TextBlock textBlock1 = new TextBlock { Text = "Ready", Foreground = Brushes.AntiqueWhite };
TextBlock textBlock2 = new TextBlock { Text = "Page No 1", Foreground = Brushes.AntiqueWhite };
textBlock1.Margin = new Thickness(left, top, right, bottom);
textBlock2.Margin = new Thickness(left1, top1, right1, bottom1);

//Add textblock to the wrappanel.
wrapPanel.Children.Add(textBlock1);
wrapPanel.Children.Add(textBlock2);

//Add the wrappanel to the statusbar.
ribbonStatusBar.Items.Add(wrapPanel);

//Add statusbar to the ribbonwindow.
this.StatusBar = ribbonStatusBar;
'Initialize the Ribbon control.
Dim ribbon As New Ribbon()
ribbon.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top

ribbonStatusBar.Background = Brushes.DarkBlue

Dim wrapPanel As New WrapPanel()

Dim left As Double = 10, top As Double = 0, right As Double = 0, bottom As Double = 0
Dim left1 As Double = 20, top1 As Double = 0, right1 As Double = 0, bottom1 As Double = 0

'Add the wrappanel to the statusbar.
ribbonStatusBar.Items.Add(wrapPanel)

'Add statusbar to the ribbonwindow.
