Is there any way to add a windows style status bar in my CVI program?(include sdk)

I want to add a windows style status bar in my CVI program ,but when I use the API function CreatStatusBar() to creat it and get the right handle,I don't know how to
make it be displayed in my main window .
Thanks!

In CVI, only the topmost windows can access the system-specific window handle which is NOT settable. Using "CreatStatusBar" API to create a statusbar generates a child panel's window handle which you can do nothing. If you really want to add a windows style statusbar, you can use the ActiveX control "Microsoft StatusBar Control" in mscomctl.ocx which is in the SP4 of Windows2000.
