Is this sort of thing helpful?

------------------

without warning
include win32lib.ew

constant Win = create(Window, "TEST", 0, 0, 0, 400, 400, 0)

constant SB = create(StatusBar, "", Win, 0, 0, 0, 50, 0)

procedure Paint_SB(integer self, integer event, sequence parms)

    setPenColor(self, Red)
    drawRectangle(self, 1, 3, 3, 150, 50)
    setPenColor(self, Green)
    drawRectangle(self, 1, 150, 3, 300, 50)
    setPenColor(self, Blue)
    setFont(self, "Courier New", 12, Bold)
    wPuts({self, 4,4}, "hello")
    setFont(self, "Arial", 12, Italic)
    wPuts({self, 154,4}, "world")
end procedure
setHandler(SB, w32HPaint, routine_id("Paint_SB"))
VOID = setErasePolicy(SB, 1)
WinMain(Win , Normal)
