How do I add a control to the beginning of the status line? [message #685788]

I am trying to add a control contribution to the beginning of the status line i.e. to the left, but no matter what I do it always comes out at the end of the line i.e. to the right.

So what's the trick? All the examples on the net I can find seem to deliberately place their controls at the end of the status line but that's not what I want.

I am adding the control using:

statusLine.appendToGroup(StatusLineManager.BEGIN_GROUP, cc);

but this behaves exactly the same as:

statusLine.appendToGroup(StatusLineManager.END_GROUP, cc);

So is it possible to achieve what I want or does everything always appear at the end of the status line?

Thanks,
