property Panel.OffsetPercent as String
Specifies the offset to apply when the percent bar is displayed on the panel.

TypeDescription
String A string expression that indicates the padding of the progress-bar inside the panel. The list should be as "l t b r" where the l indicates the padding to left, t indicates the padding to top, and so on. For instance, "2 2 -2 -2" indicates that the progress-bar is padded 2 pixels from all sides of the panel.
Use the OffsetPercent property to specify the padding to display the progress-bar inside the panel. Use the Percent property to display a progress bar inside the panel. Use the Offset property to add extra padding to the text being displayed in panel. Use the Text property to assign a caption to a panel. Use the BackColorPercent property to change the visual appearance of the progress bar in the panel.

The following VB sample shows "How can I control the padding of the percent/progressbar control": 

With StatusBar1
	.BeginUpdate 
	With .VisualAppearance
		.Add 4,"c:\exontrol\images\border.ebn"
		.Add 5,"CP:4 1 1 -1 -1"
	End With
	.BackColorPanels = 83886080
	.BackColor = -2147483633
	.Format = "1/2,(24;5/6)"
	With .Panel(5)
		.Text = "15%"
		.Percent = 15
		.OffsetPercent = "6 6 -6 -6"
	End With
	.EndUpdate 
End With
