Sub StatusBarExample() ' Create object references and initialize variables. Dim SBar As StatusBar Dim TList As TaskList Dim TItems As TaskItems Dim TI As TaskItem Dim count As Long Dim i As Long SBar = DTE.StatusBar ' Get references to Task List. TList = DTE.Windows().Item(Constants.vsWindowKindTaskList).Object TItems = TList.TaskItems i = 1 count = TItems.Count ' Loop through Task List items, updating progress bar for each item. For Each TI In TItems SBar.Progress(True, TI.Description, i, count) SBar.SetLineColumnCharacter(i, count, 0) i = i + 1 MsgBox("Task: " & i - 1 & vbCr & "Description: " & TI.Description & vbCr & "Next task item...")
