Just test it!

Ok. I’ll try that. Just thought that since You suggested it you might know something about it.

I tried this:

Code:

---

       
        CHAR* msg = "This is a test";
        AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->SendMessage(WM_SETMESSAGESTRING, 0, (LPARAM)msg);

---

This doesn't set the status text, if called before the status bar is created, but works fine afterwards.

So I'll stick with my timer solution that actually works.

Why did you suggest using WM_SETMESSAGESTRING? Just guessing?

I never needed to set the status bar text before status bar has been created.

Yes! If it is already developed/created and does work, then why not? ;)

Because it worked for me since decades without any problem! :)

If it works, don’t fix it!
