The STSBAR.ZIP file contains Version 1.2.0 of the Status Bar Control Dynamic
Link Library and an external header file. These two files will allow you to
access the Status Bar Control. Also included is a sample program SBTEST.*
that shows one how to access the control. A manual is provided in a Microsoft
Word for Windows and a Microsoft Write format. In the document every message
is explained in detail and the layout resembles that of the Microsoft Windows
SDK Manuals.
The Status Bar Control DLL is a shareware product. I welcome any suggestions,
comments or questions you may have on this product. The source code is also
available. Please direct all requests to the address or telephone number
below.

NEW FEATURES in Version 1.2.0
1.) The displaying of text has been optimized such that the flickering of
previous versions is eliminated.
2.) Modified the implementation such that the user must call LoadLibrary()
and FreeLibrary() to access the Status Bar Control. These functions
replace the StatusBarInit() and StatusBarUnInit() functions,
respectively. This was done to conform to the way other control dlls
work and to make it easier for the programmer. With this method no import
library is needed.
3.) When the Status Bar is created a check is now made for the monitor type,
so that the defaults are specific to it. For example, if the monitor is
a VGA or better then the Face Style is 3D and the Face Color is Gray.
As a result, the programmer does not have to set these values through
SendMessage() calls after creating the Status Bar Control.
Please refer to the manual for more information.
