You mean you don't know "how"? Basically, you select Activex from the form controls/view classes toolbar, find the icon for statusbar control, and drop it onto a form. Then right click on the statusbar and select the sbarctl properties. This is where you can set the bar's panel properties, etc.
A word of advice, though...if you don't put the statusbar into a bottom docked toolbar, other forms can hide it...you'll see what I mean once you get it working on a form...
