Creating a status bar

Folks,

I have two TRootEmbeddedCanvas objects inside a TGMainFrame. I am trying to create a status bar on the TGMainFrame that mimics the behaviour of the status bar provided in TCanvas. So I want the status bar to display the information relating to (for example) histograms which are drawn on separate pads -- the pads are drawn on the TCanvas that is owned by the TRootEmbeddedCanvas. At the moment I have the code below. However, the problem is that the x and y positions passed to ExecEvent refer to the underlying canvas -- rather than the pad on which the selected object exists. This means that the line
fStatusBar->SetText(selected->GetObjectInfo(x,y),3); yields meaningless information because the x and y do not refer to the correct coordinate system.

How do I obtain the position in the pad that the selected object is in?

   fStatusBar->SetText(selected->GetTitle(),0); //fStatusbar is my status bar, embedded into the TMainFrame

   fStatusBar->SetText(selected->GetName(),1);    if (event == kKeyPress)

      sprintf(atext, "%c", (char) x);
   else

      sprintf(atext, "%d,%d", x, y);
   fStatusBar->SetText(atext,2);
