For some panel styles, the information displayed by a panel is calculated or changed based on other values. The DisplayText returns the text that is currently displayed by the panel taking all formatting into account.

Example
The following sample code illustrates how to make use of the UIElement property exposed by the UltraStatusBar control.

Imports Infragistics.Win
Imports Infragistics.Win.UltraWinStatusBar
Imports System.Diagnostics

   Private Sub ultraStatusBar1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ultraStatusBar1.Click

       Dim mainElement As UIElement
       Dim element As UIElement
       Dim screenPoint As Point
       Dim clientPoint As Point
       Dim panel As UltraStatusPanel

       ' Get the control's main element
       mainElement = Me.ultraStatusBar1.UIElement

       ' Convert the current mouse position to a point
       ' in client coordinates of the control.
       screenPoint = Control.MousePosition
       clientPoint = Me.ultraStatusBar1.PointToClient(screenPoint)

       ' Get the element at that point
       element = mainElement.ElementFromPoint(clientPoint)

       If element Is Nothing Then Return

       Debug.WriteLine("Clicked on an " + element.GetType().ToString())
       Debug.Indent()

       ' Get the row that contains this element.
       panel = element.GetContext(GetType(UltraStatusPanel))

       If Not panel Is Nothing Then
           Debug.WriteLine("panel style: " + panel.Style.ToString())
           Debug.WriteLine("key: " + panel.Key)
           Debug.WriteLine("index: " + panel.Index.ToString())
           Debug.WriteLine("text: " + panel.DisplayText)
       End If

       ' Walk up the parent element chain and write out a line 
       ' for each parent element.
       While Not element.Parent Is Nothing
           element = element.Parent
           Debug.WriteLine("is a child of an " + element.GetType().ToString())
           Debug.Indent()
       End While

       ' reset the indent level
       Debug.IndentLevel = 0

   End Sub
using System.Diagnostics;
using Infragistics.Win;
using Infragistics.Win.UltraWinStatusBar;

private void ultraStatusBar1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

	UIElement mainElement;
	UIElement element;
	Point screenPoint;
	Point clientPoint;
	UltraStatusPanel panel;

	// Get the control's main element
	mainElement = this.ultraStatusBar1.UIElement;
 
	// Convert the current mouse position to a point
	// in client coordinates of the control.
	screenPoint = Control.MousePosition;
	clientPoint = this.ultraStatusBar1.PointToClient( screenPoint );

	// Get the element at that point
	element = mainElement.ElementFromPoint( clientPoint );

	if ( element == null )
		return;

	Debug.WriteLine( "Clicked on an " + element.GetType().ToString() );
	Debug.Indent();

	// Get the row that contains this element.
	panel = element.GetContext( typeof( UltraStatusPanel ) )
					as UltraStatusPanel;
	
	if ( panel != null )
	{
		Debug.WriteLine( "panel style: " + panel.Style.ToString() );
		Debug.WriteLine( "key: " + panel.Key );
		Debug.WriteLine( "index: " + panel.Index.ToString() );
		Debug.WriteLine( "text: " + panel.DisplayText );
	}

	// Walk up the parent element chain and write out a line 
	// for each parent element.
	while (element.Parent != null )
	{
		element = element.Parent;
		Debug.WriteLine("is a child of an " + element.GetType().ToString());
		Debug.Indent();
	}

	// reset the indent level
	Debug.IndentLevel = 0;
