Here's another way to get a status bar window.
Dim dChildren
Set dChildren = Nothing
Set dChildren = ActiveWindow.DirectChildren.FilterByType(wtStatus)
If Not dChildren Is Nothing And dChildren.Count = 1 Then
' You've got a status bar window object.
Else
' It's either not there or not a true status bar window.
' In the latter case figure out which child it is.
End If
Hth,
Tom

Subject: retrieving text from a specific window?
Hi all,
How do I retrieve text from a specific window?. I am trying to retrieve the
status line information from notepad using windowsXP, The status window has
a control Id of 1025, but I can't get anything to work with this in the
Immed window. I tried the following lines of code in immed, using the
Clips object and this worked only whilst the cursor was at line 1 column 1.
Lines of VBScript from immed:
Set x = ActiveWindow.Children
Set c = x.Item(3).Clips
print c.count ' output
1
Speak c.Item(1)
output
When on first line first column "LN1 column 1". I don't really want to use
the clips object as I have a window control Id.
Warm regards.
Martin Webster.
