            Bug ID: 121442
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Impossible to extend the status bar with extensions
    Classification: Code
           Product: framework
           Version: AOO 3.4.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: code
          Assignee: [email protected]

It is impossible to extend the status bar with extensions, other UI elements
like toolbars and menus can be extended in different ways.

There is no way to add a new control to the status bar. For menus and toolbar
it is possible to extend them using the Addons.xcu configuration file.

There is an API to implement a component that controls a status bar item, a
com.sun.star.frame.StatusbarController, but it is impossible to implement in
UNO: a StatusbarController needs to access the status bar item it controls, in
order to reflect the state of the feature it represents, but there is no way to
access the status bar with the current API. The internal StatusbarControllers
access directly the underlying VCL StatusBar to reflect status updates, this
shows a gap in the API design.
