The default position of a status window is along the bottom of the parent window, but you can specify the CCS_TOP style to have it appear at the top of the parent window's client area.
You can specify the SBARS_SIZEGRIP style to include a sizing grip at the right end of the status window. A sizing grip is similar to a sizing border; it is a rectangular area that the user can click and drag to resize the parent window.
Note You can combine the CCS_TOP and SBARS_SIZEGRIP styles. Doing so, however, is not recommended, because the resulting sizing grip is not functional even though the system draws it in the status window.
