Using TRootEmbeddedCanvas with TGStatusBar?

Hi,  I want to use TRootEmbeddedCanvas with a TGStatusBar.  However,
TRootEmbeddedCanvas instantiates its TCanvas *fCanvas with a
constructor which disallows a TGStatusBar.  So I create my
TRootEmbeddedCanvas from another TGCompositeFrame (fParent of
TRootEmbeddedCanvas) which owns a TGStatusBar and has a menu item
which toggles an fShowEventStatus switch.  Then I have to modify the
methods like:

TRootEmbeddedCanvas::HandleContainerButton(Event_t event)

to forward event status information to fParent's TGStatusBar using:

((ParentType*)fParent)->SetStatusText(fCanvas->GetSelected()->GetObjec 
tInfo(px,py),ipart);

I'd prefer not to have to modify TRootEmbeddedCanvas.  Adding the
ParentType dependency to the modified TRootEmbeddedCanvas class seems
particularly ugly.  Is there a better way to do this?  For example,
the TRootEmbeddedContainer class might be a logical place to provide
status bar and perhaps menu functionality.  Thanks.
George
