Activate or deactivate buttons displayed in the status bar

Hello how are you, I wanted to ask you a question.
Is there a way to enable or disable buttons displayed in the status bar, using lisp.
Thank you.

If you mean have Autolisp toggle it one way vs another like changing the value from 0 to 1 then yes

Do you mean to toggle or cycle values for those things [for example, to toggle ORTHO or OSNAP on/off, or cycle through the Isometric drawing plane options]?  Yes, those things can be done for most status bar items with AutoLisp command definitions or Tool Palette buttons, and some with things like Ctrl+ key combinations.

 

Or by "deactive" do you mean you want to have the icons not even appear in the status bar, as when you un-check them in the customization pull-up list shown in your first image?  [I don't know whether that can be controlled by those means.]

Hello how are you, thanks for your prompt response.
@paullimapa @Kent1Cooper Changing the values between 0 and 1 to deactivate or activate the osnap or ortho and things like that, I know how to do that.
I clarify that I do not want to add new buttons.
As Kent1Cooper says, I want to check or uncheck the dropdown list, (Like the first image) to show in the bar only what I use.
@pendean I work on several computers, but several other people also work on those computers. So I have everything programmed in lisp, with my personal configurations and the only thing I need is how to configure that.
This is how I sit down to work, activate mine, finish working and leave everything as it was.
Excuse my English, I only speak Spanish.

Got it: so importing then activating a custom-to-you AutoCAD profile ARG and workspace on all of these machines is how we all do it: and each user also has their own workspace and whatever controlling Profile ARG to restore when you are complete.

To load a different ARG every time copy the Acad desktop icon, paste back on desktop, click right button edit the General line looking for the /P this is your profile, change it to your profile name. Ok a must do 1st is save your ARG after setting Cad to how you want. eg CIV3D profile "<<C3D Metric>>" now /P FRED.

 

So click on correct icon to start CAD and should be all set.
