The StatusBar control generates a strange layout for my child items. What is happening?
EditAnswer
By default, the StatusBar uses a DockPanel to layout the StatusBar items. What is important to understand is that by default the DockPanel docks its children to the left, except for the last child, which takes the remaining space. To produce the layout you desire, you could provide a different ItemsPanelTemplate for the StatusBar's ItemsPanel property that uses another type of Panel: StackPanel, Grid, Canvas, etc. Also, you could modify the DockPanel.Dock property of each StatusBarItem of the StatusBar to create a custom layout.
