Once you have added the control to your form you can show text in the panels with:

This.Statusbar1.Panels(1).Text = "Hello!"

I don't know about adding buttons to it, but you can show any of the panels with a raised attribute to make it look like a button and then put code in the PanelClick():

This.Statusbar1.Panels(1).Bevel = 2 &&sbrRaised

You can add panels to the control with:

This.Statusbar1.Panels.Add()
