Status Window Text Operations
You set the text of any part of a status window by sending the
SB_SETTEXT message, specifying the zero-based index of a part, a pointer to the string
to draw in the part, and the technique for drawing the string. The drawing
technique determines whether the text has a border and, if it does, the style of the
border. It also determines whether the parent window is responsible for
drawing the text. For more information, see the following topic.
By default, text is left-aligned within the specified part of a status window.
You can embed tab characters (\ t) in the text to center or right-align it.
Text to the right of a single tab character is centered, and text to the right of
a second tab character is right-aligned.
To retrieve text from a status window, use the
SB_GETTEXTLENGTH and
SB_GETTEXT messages.
If your application uses a status window that has only one part, you can use
the
WM_SETTEXT,
WM_GETTEXT, and
WM_GETTEXTLENGTH messages to perform text operations. These messages deal only with the part
that has an index of zero, allowing you to treat the status window much like a
static text control.
To display a line of status without creating a status window, use the
DrawStatusText function. The function uses the same techniques to draw the status as the
window procedure for the status window, but it does not automatically set the size
and position of the status information. When calling the function, you must
specify the size and position of the status information, as well as the device
context of the window in which to draw it.
