Result = CreateStatusBar(#StatusBar, WindowID)

Create and add an empty #StatusBar to the specified WindowID. Once the bar is created, AddStatusBarField() can be used to setup the different parts of the bar.

Parameters

#StatusBar	A number to identify the new status bar. #PB_Any can be used to auto-generate this number.
