Toolbar and Statusbar

Hi win32lib developers,
just a bit of advice.
I recommend that any toolbar and statusbar controls be created =
immediately after their parent window is created.
This is because these control types effect the location of the Client =
Area. And as the X,Y parameters on the create() function are relative to =
the client area, you could get "misplaced" controls if you create some =
before the toolbar/statusbar and some after the toolbar/statusbar.
Thanks to Judith for discovering this effect.
I suppose a workaround inside win32lib would be to automatically adjust =
the location of controls created before a toolbar/statusbar - but that =
just might cause other side-effects.
