--- | ---
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.
