     Environment: VC++ 1.52, Win 3.1
     
     Does anyone know how to create a recessed status bar like in the VC++ 
     1.52 environment.  I want to create that type of status bar in my 
     application and I was wondering if anyone had sample source code or a 
     link to somewhere where I can get info on how to do this.  
     
     Thanks

If my memory serves my right, there are some source code on Compuserve.  So if you have a 
Compuserve account, you should be able to pull it down

Look at the example in c:\msvc\mfc\samples\ctrlbars\mainfrm.cpp

Hope this helps, Amir.

This is the OnCreate I use in an MFC application, it provides a toolbar and
status bar.

m_wndToolBar and m_wndStatusBar are members of CMainWnd, derived from
CToolBar and CStatusBar respectively.

Declare before the OnCreate function for the MainFrame window

/* menu commands in toolbar */
static UINT BASED_CODE buttons[] =
{
	IDC_FILE_EXIT,
		ID_SEPARATOR,
	IDC_TEST_SETUP,
	IDC_TEST_RUN,
		ID_SEPARATOR,
	IDC_HELP_ABOUT,
};

/* indicator panes in status bar */
static UINT BASED_CODE indicators[] =
{
	ID_SEPARATOR,
};

int CMainWnd::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
	if (CFrameWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
		return -1;
	
	// TODO: Add your specialized creation code here
	/* create, setup and attach toolbar to the frame window */
	if (!m_wndToolBar.Create(this))
	{
		TRACE("Failed to create toolbar\n");
		return -1;      // fail to Create
	}
	if(!m_wndToolBar.LoadBitmap(IDB_TOOLBAR))
	{
		TRACE("Failed load toolbar bitmap\n");
		return -1;      // fail to LoadBitmap
	}
	if(!m_wndToolBar.SetButtons(buttons, sizeof(buttons)/sizeof(UINT)))
	{
		TRACE("Failed to set toolbar buttons\n");
		return -1;      // fail to SetButtons
	}

	/* create, setup and attach status bar to the frame window */
	if (!m_wndStatusBar.Create(this))
	{
		TRACE("Failed to create status bar\n");
		return -1;      // fail to Create
	}
	
	
f(!m_wndStatusBar.SetIndicators(indicators,sizeof(indicators)/sizeof(UINT)))
	{
		TRACE("Failed to set status bar indicators\n");
		return -1;      // fail to SetIndicators
	}

	
_wndStatusBar.SetPaneInfo(0,m_wndStatusBar.GetItemID(0),SBPS_STRETCH,NULL);
	// give the first pane a 3D look (the SBPS_STRETCH flag sets the first pane
to 3D (recessed))

	/* all successful */
	return 0;
}

Hope this helps.

Sample source code for this procedure can be found in the
CMainFrame::OnCreate( ) function of the CTRLBARS sample program.

int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
         //...
         // create toolbar
         //...
        
         //...
         //create status bar
         //...

         UINT nID, nStyle;
         int cxWidth;

         m_wndStatusBar.GetPaneInfo(0, nID, nStyle, cxWidth);
         m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneInfo(0, nID, SPBS_STRETCH|SPBS_NORMAL,
cxWidth);

        return 0;
}

Good luck!
