CMFCStatusBar Class
The CMFCStatusBar class implements a status bar similar to the CStatusBar class. However, the CMFCStatusBar class has features not offered by the CStatusBar class, such as the ability to display images, animations, and progress bars; and the ability to respond to mouse double-clicks.
For more detail see the source code located in the VC\atlmfc\src\mfc folder of your Visual Studio installation.

Examples
The following example demonstrates the local variables that the application uses to call various methods in the CMFCStatusBar class. These variables are declared in StatusBarDemoView.h. The main frame is declared in MainFrm.h, the document is declared in StatusBarDemoDoc.h, and the view is declared in StatusBarDemoView.h. This code snippet is part of the Status Bar Demo sample.
int m_nProgressCurr;
BOOL m_bInProgress;
CImageList m_imlStatusAnimation;
BOOL m_bInAnimation;
CBitmap m_bmpIcon1;
CBitmap m_bmpIcon2;
The following example demonstrates how to get a reference to CMFCStatusBar object by introducing the GetStatusBar method in MainFrm.h and then calling this method from the GetStatusBar method in StatusBarDemoView.h. This code snippet is part of the Status Bar Demo sample.
// in MainFrm.h
public:
CMFCStatusBar &GetStatusBar()
{
return m_wndStatusBar;
}
// in StatusBarDemoView.h
CMFCStatusBar &GetStatusBar() const
{
return ((CMainFrame *)AfxGetMainWnd())->GetStatusBar();
}
The following example demonstrates how to call various methods in the CMFCStatusBar class in StatusBarDemoView.cpp. The constants are declared in MainFrm.h. The example shows how to set the icon, set the tooltip text of the status bar pane, display a progress bar on the specified pane, assign an animation to the specified pane, set the text and the width of the status bar pane, and set the current progress indicator of the progress bar for the status bar pane. This code snippet is part of the Status Bar Demo sample.
// in MainFrm.h
const int nStatusIcon = 0;
const int nStatusInfo = 1;
const int nStatusProgress = 2;
const int nStatusLabel = 3;
const int nStatusAnimation = 4;
// in StatusBarDemoView.cpp
GetStatusBar().SetPaneIcon(nStatusIcon, m_bmpIcon1);
GetStatusBar().SetTipText(nStatusIcon, _T("This is a tooltip"));
GetStatusBar().EnablePaneProgressBar(nStatusProgress, PROGRESS_MAX);
GetStatusBar().SetPaneAnimation(nStatusAnimation, NULL);
GetStatusBar().SetPaneAnimation(nStatusAnimation, m_imlStatusAnimation);
GetStatusBar().SetPaneText(nStatusAnimation, _T(""));
GetStatusBar().SetPaneWidth(nStatusAnimation, 16);
GetStatusBar().SetPaneProgress(nStatusProgress, m_nProgressCurr);

Return Value
Remarks
CMFCStatusBar::DoesAllowDynInsertBefore
virtual BOOL DoesAllowDynInsertBefore() const;
Return Value
Remarks
CMFCStatusBar::EnablePaneDoubleClick
Enables or disables the handling of mouse double-clicks on the status bar.
void EnablePaneDoubleClick(BOOL bEnable=TRUE);
Parameters
bEnable
[in] If TRUE, enable the processing of the mouse double-click. Otherwise disable the processing of the mouse double-click.
Remarks
If the status bar is enabled to process double clicks, Windows sends the WM_COMMAND notification together with a resource ID to the owner of the status bar every time that the user double clicks on the status bar pane.
CMFCStatusBar::EnablePaneProgressBar
Display a progress bar on the specified pane.
void EnablePaneProgressBar(
int nIndex,
long nTotal=100,
BOOL bDisplayText=FALSE,
COLORREF clrBar=-1,
COLORREF clrBarDest=-1,
COLORREF clrProgressText=-1);
Parameters
nIndex
[in] Specifies the index of the pane whose progress bar to enable.
nTotal
[in] Specifies the maximum value for the progress bar.

clrProgressText
[in] Specifies the color of the text of the progress bar.
Remarks
If you want to disable the progress bar call EnablePaneProgressBar with nTotal set to -1. By default nTotal is set to 100. Therefore, you do not need any additional calculations to display progress as percentage.
You should pass different values for clrBar and clrBarDest so that the background color of the progress bar displays a color blended into a gradient. .
To set the current progress, call the CMFCStatusBar::SetPaneProgress method.
