## constructor to add a status bar to main window

### Description

constructor to add a status bar to main window

generic for toolkit dispatch

### Usage

    gstatusbar(text = "", container = NULL, ..., toolkit = guiToolkit())

    .gstatusbar(toolkit, text = "", container = NULL, ...)

### Arguments

`text` | inital status text
`container` | A parent container. When a widget is created it can be incorporated into the widget heirarchy by passing in a parent container at construction time. (For some toolkits this is not optional, e.g. gWidgets2tcltk or gWidgets2WWW2.)
`...` | These values are passed to the `add` method of the parent container, and occasionally have been used to sneak in hidden arguments to toolkit implementations.
`toolkit` | Each widget constructor is passed in the toolkit it will use. This is typically done using the default, which will lookup the toolkit through `guiToolkit`.

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    w <- gwindow("Statusbar", visible=FALSE)
    sb <- gstatusbar("status text", container=w)
    g <- gvbox(container=w)
    gbutton("update", container=g, handler=function(...) svalue(sb) <- "new value")
    visible(w) <- TRUE

    ## End(Not run)
