virtual BOOL Create(
DWORD dwStyle,
const RECT& rect,
CWnd* pParentWnd,
UINT nID
);
Parameters
dwStyle
Specifies the status bar control's style. Apply any combination of status bar control styles listed in Common Control Styles in the Windows SDK. This parameter must include the WS_CHILD style. It should also include the WS_VISIBLE style.rect
Specifies the status bar control's size and position. It can be either a CRect object or a RECT structure.pParentWnd
Specifies the status bar control's parent window, usually a CDialog. It must not be NULL.nID
Specifies the status bar control's ID.
Return Value
Nonzero if successful; otherwise zero.
Remarks
You construct a CStatusBarCtrl in two steps. First, call the constructor, and then call Create, which creates the status bar control and attaches it to the CStatusBarCtrl object.
The default position of a status window is along the bottom of the parent window, but you can specify the CCS_TOP style to have it appear at the top of the parent window's client area. You can specify the SBARS_SIZEGRIP style to include a sizing grip at the right end of the status window. Combining the CCS_TOP and SBARS_SIZEGRIP styles is not recommended, because the resulting sizing grip is not functional even though the system draws it in the status window.
To create a status bar with extended window styles, call CStatusBarCtrl::CreateEx instead of Create.
Example
VERIFY(m_wndSBC.Create(WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|CCS_BOTTOM|SBARS_SIZEGRIP,
CRect(0,0,0,0), this, IDC_STATUSBARCTRL));
