How to display number of selected objects in statusbar?

[w64bit]

Does anyone knows a lisp file to display on statusbar the number of selected objects?

These sugestions arent quite what you are looking for but have you considered the following:

if you use SELECT command it will give you the number of objects. 

you can also use properties to give you the number 

and you can also use quick properties to give you the number. You can move the quick properties to locations you like in your work space as well.

As @TheCADnoob said, this is not a built in capability of AutoCAD.  Such a feature would require customization.  Try to use his suggestions instead.  The status bar tends to get crowded anyway.
