Form design property

Change value of StatusBarStyle property on form design.

Determines how to display the status bar on a form. Use this property to hide the status bar, display only help information, display status bar elements based on the WindowType, or to always display the full status bar. Forms with a WindowType of ListPage, ContentPage, or Workspace ignore this property.

When set to Auto it looks at the WindowType to infer the value. Lookups do not have status bar etc.
