Dude... It sometimes help to read the original post ;-) This is a dialog app
we're talking about, which has no status bar by default.

The easiest way is to use a static control attached to a CString variable.
Make sure the "No Wrap" style is NOT SET, and possibly use the "Sunken"
style for visual effect. Assign the message to the variable, and call
UpdateData(FALSE).

It's only being pedantic, but if you use an edit control, even if you set it
to read-only, the "I" cursor will still be shown when the mouse moves over
it.
