Fred,

Inlcude COMMCTRL.INC in your code and create the statusbar using...

GLOBAL hStatBar AS DWORD

hStatBar is the new statusbar handle. You'll need it to write
new text in it.

hStatBar = CreateStatusWindow(_
%WS_CHILD OR %WS_VISIBLE OR %WS_CLIPSIBLINGS OR %CCS_NOPARENTALIGN OR %CCS_BOTTOM OR %CCS_NORESIZE, _
"Statusbar",_
hWnd,_
NextCtrlID)

...where hWnd is the handle of the form you want it in, and,
NextCtrlID is a unique ID number for the new statusbar. Say 3000

You can also add %SBARS_SIZEGRIP to the styles so that you have a
size grip at the bottom right corner of it.

To write into the pane, use something like...

LOCAL tmpstr AS STRING

tmpstr = "this is a status bar"
SendMessage hStatBar, %SB_SETTEXT, 0, STRPTR(tmpstr)

Hope this helps. I havn't tested it, but it should work.

Thanks Michael,
It was a non-Resizable DDT-Dialog.
But %CCS_NOPARENTALIGN was the style I was looking for
Note that SBARS_SIZEGRIP will make the statusbar resizable.
