That worked great. We went with the direct approach and modified the status
bar without subclassing it.
var statusBar = myWin._getChildControl("statusbar");
// add whatever you like the the statusbar
statusBar.add(...);
You can also modify the HBox layout by grabbing the layout for the composite
container through:
var myStatusBarLayout=statusBar.getLayout();
Then you can set different properties on the HBox if needed.
