Is there a way to associate an icon with the panes in the statusbar. I would like a visual representation of what the panes are. Also how would I go about adding a progress control to a statusbar so I can activate it when a progress needs to be presented. I would imagine that when the progres control is active it would also have its own paints for the description of what is happening

The CExtStatusControlBar class is derived from the standard CStatusBar. It just sets an appropriate background color for the status bar and redraws its border and gripper. So, the rule for inserting an icon into the status bar is the same:

1) Load a 16x16 icon

HICON hSmallIcon = (HICON)
		::LoadImage(
			::AfxGetInstanceHandle(),
			MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDR_MAINFRAME ),
			IMAGE_ICON,
			16,
			16,
			LR_DEFAULTCOLOR
			);
	ASSERT( hSmallIcon != NULL );

	CStatusBarCtrl & _sbc =
		m_wndStatusBar.GetStatusBarCtrl();
	_sbc.SetIcon( 0, hSmallIcon );

CRect rcItem;
	_sbc.GetRect( 1, &rcItem );
	rcItem.DeflateRect( 1, 1 );
	VERIFY( m_wndProgress.Create(
		WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE/*|PBS_SMOOTH*/,
		rcItem, &m_wndStatusBar, 0 ) );
	m_wndProgress.ModifyStyleEx(
		WS_EX_STATICEDGE|WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,
		0,
		SWP_FRAMECHANGED
		);
	m_wndProgress.SetRange( 0, 100 );
	m_wndProgress.SetPos( 0 );

void CMainFrame::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy) 
{
	CFrameWnd::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);
	if(		m_wndStatusBar.GetSafeHwnd() != NULL
		&&	m_wndStatusBar.IsWindowVisible()
		)
	{
		CStatusBarCtrl & _sbc =
			m_wndStatusBar.GetStatusBarCtrl();
		CRect rcItem;
		_sbc.GetRect( 1, &rcItem );
		rcItem.DeflateRect( 1, 1 );
		m_wndProgress.MoveWindow( &rcItem );
	} // if( m_wndStatusBar.GetSafeHwnd() != NULL )
}
