You may be calling this code too early. The UIElement won't be there unless the panel is actually on the screen and visible. So if you try to do this in the Form_Load, it won't work because the control hasn't painted yet.

always get NULL in element :-(

my code:

Infragistics.Win.UltraWinStatusBar.UltraStatusPanel panel;
            panel = this.StatusBar.Panels["extendedInfo"];                    //panel is not null there

            Infragistics.Win.UIElement element = this.StatusBar.UIElement.GetDescendant(typeof(Infragistics.Win.UltraWinStatusBar.PanelUIElement), panel);
            if (element != null)                                                //is always null
                Console.WriteLine(element.Rect);

Try something like this:

            UltraStatusPanel panel = this.ultraStatusBar1.Panels[0];
            UIElement element = this.ultraStatusBar1.UIElement.GetDescendant(typeof(PanelUIElement), panel);
            if (element != null)
                Debug.WriteLine(element.Rect);

This will give you the rect of the panel within the status bar control. You will probably want to call RectangleToScreen on the control to get the screen rect to show a tooltip.
