SB_SETTEXT

The SB_SETTEXT message sets the text in the specified part of a status window.

SB_SETTEXT

wParam = (WPARAM) iPart | uType;

lParam = (LPARAM) (LPSTR) szText;

Parameters

iPart

Zero-based index of the part to set. If this value is 255, the status window is assumed to be a simple window having only one part.

uType

Type of drawing operation. This parameter can be one of the following values:

Value
Meaning
0
The text is drawn with a border to appear lower than the plane of the window.
SBT_NOBORDERS
The text is drawn without borders.
SBT_OWNERDRAW
The text is drawn by the parent window.
SBT_POPOUT
The text is drawn with a border to appear higher than the plane of the window.
SBT_RTLREADING
Displays text using right-to-left reading order on Hebrew or Arabic systems.

szText

Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the text to set. If uType is SBT_OWNERDRAW, this parameter represents 32 bits of data. The parent window must interpret the data and draw the text when it receives the WM_DRAWITEM message.

Return Values

If the operation succeeds, the return value is TRUE.

If the operation fails, the return value is FALSE.

Remarks

The message invalidates the portion of the window that has changed, causing it to display the new text when the window next receives the WM_PAINT message.
