Xceed SmartUI lets you also create highly customizable status bars.

Example

This example shows a SmartUI containing a PanelTime, PanelProgress, PanelText, PanelNum, PanelIns and PanelSpring SmartItems.

This SmartUI:

• does not have a border, ( BorderStyle=bsNone),
• has no Caption, and its Caption style is set to none (CaptionStyle=csNone)
• is horizontal (Orientation=orHorizontal), 
• is opaque (BackStyle= bkOpaque), but it may have been transparent or semi-transparent), 
• has its Sorted Property set to false (Sorted=False): the SmartItems are not sorted alphabetically 

Remarks

Of course, you can customize each item with Bold, HotBold, Underline, HotUnderline, Italic, HotItalic, ForeColor, HotForeColor, Image, HotImage, and so on. You can also specify SelectedBold, SelectedUnderline, SelectedItalic, SelectedImage, and even HotTrackSelect Properties.

Like every SmartUI, you can of course create horizontally aligned SmartObjects!
