That neat offline ICON in IE

[Rossi]

Hi All!

Have you ever seen the status bar of IE when it's in offline mode. I mean when you go to the "File" menu and choose "Work Offline". Now I know how to check the "Work Offline" menu item. But I need to know how to display that "Working Offline" icon on the status bar. Or any other visual way so that I could display some "sign" that my app is currently in Offline mode.

Any ideas/help/samples will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Rossi.

An excellent book--with source code on CD-ROM--is well worth the purchase price: "The MFC Answer Book" by Eugene Kain (Addison Wesley, ISBN#0-201-18537-7) Section 6.12 is titled "How do I draw in a status bar pane?" and details the process clearly and completely.
