The status bar provides a location for the application developer to convey information to the user about what is happening in an application. For example, when an application is reading a file the status bar might display text which reads "Opening file....". Many applications provide a status bar across the bottom of forms and this is often where a user will lok for feedback on what an application is doing. For this reason alone, it is well worth learning how to add a status bar to your applications.
