SUMMARY
=======

To implement a sunken or recessed border around the first pane of the status
bar, you need to have SBPS_STRETCH style set for this pane.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This style can be set immediately after you create the status bar in the
CMainFrame::OnCreate handler of your Appwizard-generated application. Add the
following call to SetPaneInfo in the CMainFrame::OnCreate handler:

     int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
     {
     // Code generated by the framework

      m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneInfo( 0, m_wndStatusBar.GetItemID( 0 ),
             SBPS_STRETCH, NULL );
     }

Here m_wndStatusBar is the CStatusBar member variable of the CMainFrame class,
and CStatusBar::GetItemID() returns the ID of the first pane.

NOTE: Only one pane of the status bar can have this style set.

REFERENCES
==========

For additional information on this style, please see CStatusBar::SetPaneInfo()
in the Foundation Classes Help file.
