Nothing like that is officially supported. You can implement
a "status" line as a text or label widget and have it change
as you keep track of "tracking" events in your widgets. Just
be aware that tracking events are faked on Windows systems, so
it is easy to miss them if the cursor moves too fast (or
too slow, sometimes). :-)

Cheers,

David
