Which Part are you having trouble with, getting that data from the listbox or just getting the data to the statusbar?

To change the text in a status bar you use

Visual Basic: 
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
'i = which panels text to change
'FormName = then name of the form the statusbar is on.
'FormName isn't used if the code is on the form the statusbar is on.
FormName.StatusBar1.Panels(i).Text = "some text"
End Sub

Hope This Helps

You must first create an instance of the form you want to change the status bar of for the above example to work.

Visual Basic: 
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "

    Dim FormName As FormName

    Public Sub New(ByVal StatForm As FormName)
        MyBase.New()

        'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
        InitializeComponent()

        'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
        FormName = StatForm

    End Sub

This will give you an instance of the current form.

Hope this helps.
