Entry in Attributes Window Represents
Name Handle name of the status bar control (may be overwritten with another name)
Attributes... Subordinate window for editing the status bar control's attribute values. For more information, see Status Bar Control Attributes Subwindow. (Normally, all attributes of a dialog element can be edited in the attributes window. Instead, the attributes of each pane in the status bar control can be edited here. For reasons of space, the status bar control's attributes are edited in a separate subwindow).
Status-bar panes: Displays the handle name of the panes already created. If you select a pane in this list, its attributes are displayed for editing. You can also select several panes for cutting and pasting.
New Creates a new pane.
Cut Cuts the selected pane and copies it to the clipboard. You can also cut and paste several panes at once.
Paste Pastes a pane from the clipboard.

Note:
The "New" and "Paste" entries insert panes behind the currently selected item, or, if no items are selected, at the top of the list. You deselect items by holding down CTRL while selecting the selected items.
