Try this:<br />
<br />
BOOL CMainFrame::PreTranslateMe<wbr />ssage(MSG*<wbr /> pMsg) <br />
{<br />
&nbsp; if (pMsg-&gt;message == WM_LBUTTONDOWN &amp;&amp;&nbsp;pMsg-&gt;hwnd == m_wndStatusBar.m_hWnd)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; ActivateFrame(SW_MINIMIZE)<wbr />;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
&nbsp; return CMDIFrameWnd::PreTranslate<wbr />Message(pM<wbr />sg);<br />
}<br />
<br />
Good Luck,<br />
