  1.5 The MessageBar
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The message bar has become also a standard component that we may find in
  almost all Windows applications.

  A message bar is a control placed at the bottom of its container window
  that shows information related to the pulldown menu currently option
  selected or to the buttonbar button currently under the mouse cursor.

  It is also possible to display the messages of a child Dialog Box
  controls, to help users to understand the meaning of each DialogBox
  control. (See DialogBoxes explanations.)

  FiveWin automatically applies 3D look to the messagebar, and optionally
  lets selection of a left or center message position (see MessageBar
  xBase commands).

  The next version of FiveWin will offer new and powerful possibilities
  for messagebar (like the ability of having multiples columns of
  information on it, and automatic timed messages).

  In the source code of the FiveWin IDE you will find samples showing how
  to place a clock in the messagebar. We plan to extend FiveWin
  messagebar with all those features.

  A well designed application that uses extensive information on the
  messagebar to help the user quickly understand, reduces training times
  for companies and makes software much more human oriented.
