Writing to status bar (ignore the one below)

[RalfPeter]

Hi all, could anyone tell me how to write on the area before the panes of the status bar? That area where the word 'Ready' is placed. Thanks, Ralf. ralf.riedel@usm.edu

Just try using this member function of CFrameWnd: CFrameWnd::SetMessageText From MSDN: Call this function to place a string in the status-bar pane that has an ID of 0. This is typically the leftmost, and longest, pane of the status bar
