Disabling "Ready" & Other Auto Status Bar Updates :: MFC

Hi.

Is there a way to disable the auto status bar update on pane 1? For example, you will see "Ready" in the first pane of the status bar when the program first starts (single-document using AppWizard). I need to use pane 1 of the status bar for something. I would like to disable the auto status bar update (system update).

Thanks,
Kuphryn
