I am not sure if I understand your question. Do you want to resize the
statusbar so it stretches from the left border of your window to the right?

If so you'll need to resize the statusbar by catching the WM_SIZE message in
your windows procedure.

--
HDWP hdwp;
LONG nWidth, nHeight;

case WM_SIZE:
  /* Get the width and the height of the main window */
  nWidth = LOWORD (lParam);
  nHeight = HIWORD (lParam);

  /* How many window controls are being resized? */
  hdwp = BeginDeferWindowPos (1);

  /* Resize the STATUSBAR */
  DeferWindowPos (hdwp, hwndStatusBar, NULL, 0, 0, nWidth, nHeight,
SWP_SHOWWINDOW);

  /* End resizing window controls */
  EndDeferWindowPos (hdwp);
  return 0;
