Using the version 0.57 of win32lib, you can do this:
Sb = createEx(StatusBar, "", theWin, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
-- Define three statusbar panels whose right-most edge
-- is at 200 pixels, 260 pixels and 400 pixels respectively
setSubFields(Sb, {200, 260, 400})
-- Write to 1st panel
setText({Sb,1} , "One")
-- Write to 2nd panel
setText({Sb,2} , "Two")
-- Write to 3rd panel
setText({Sb,3} , "Three")
----------
Note that if you want the rightmost panel to extend across the window,
specify an edge value of -1.
Due to some feedback on this issue, I'm adding extra abilities: placing
icons into panels, and to specify them in terms of widths, and relative
widths, rather than right-most edges.
Currently you can chnage the number of panels at will, just by issuing a
new setSubField() call. If you wish to revert to a simple statusbar
again, use this call:
junk = sendMessage(Sb, SB_SIMPLE, 0, 0)
