You can easily attach status bar to the bottom area of the layout:
var sb = dhxLayout.attachStatusBar();
It's used to display additional information of an item. It can be the current state of an item, the name of the current action or some helpful tip.
As the item is a layout - status bar has the only method for text manipulation - setText():
// setting text sb.setText("Status Bar"); // getting text var text = sb.getText();
The only parameter of the method - the text you want to display in the status bar.
