Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.dll)

Syntax

int SetText(
	String^ pszText
)

pszText: Type: System::String^
[in] The text to display in the status text area.

Type: System::Int32

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

From vsshell.idl:

HRESULT IVsStatusbar::SetText(
   [in]LPCOLESTR pszText

The animation icon and progress bar overwrite the text area if the text is too long when those methods are called.
