ToolBar and FlatToolBar definitely have different creation requirements. Have a
look at the flattoolbar.exw demo program that came with win32lib.

The sequence values in this routine represent the RIGHTHAND edge pixel of each
panel, except the last one. What you have done here is create three panels that
all have their righthand edge at pixel #50. Try this instead...

  setSubFields(mystatusbar, {50,100,150,-1})

Yes, this is a mistake in the library. I've repaired it in the next release. You
can get a beta edition from ...

This only has the include files and is definitely a BETA version, so beware and
do not overwrite your current win32lib area.
