Parent a progress bar to a panel in a status bar

I am trying to parent a progress bar into a panel in a status bar, but I
can't seem to do it because TStatusPanel isn't derived from a TWinControl.
Anyone know how to do it?

Maybe this note from "Mauro" will help:

Make the panel where you want the progress bar placed owner-drawn and
then use the code below.

__fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner)
         : TForm(Owner)
{
   ProgressBar1->Parent = StatusBar1;

Quote
}

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

void __fastcall TForm1::StatusBar1DrawPanel(TStatusBar *StatusBar,
       TStatusPanel *Panel, const TRect &Rect)
{
   // place it in the second panel
   if (Panel->Index == 1)
     ProgressBar1->SetBounds(Rect.Left, Rect.Top, Rect.Right -
Rect.Left,  Rect.Bottom - Rect.Top);

Quote
}

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
