The status bar in Visual Studio is divided into four regions: status text area, progress bar area, animated icon area, and the editor information area. Each region can support one or more output panes. For more information, see the Status Bar topic under the Window Design node of the User Interface Design Guidelines.

See illustrations of the implementation and/or calling of this interface in the samples Basic Edit Sample and Basic Project.

Notes to Callers:

This interface should be called whenever information in the status bar needs to be updated.
