**ShowOnStatusBar( **//text, zone //**)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **ShowOnStatusBar** | Show text on the window status bar. |
| //Text// | A string constant or variable that contains the text to display on the status bar. |
| //Zone// | An LONG integer that indicates which status bar section the text is to be displayed. |

The **ShowOnStatusBar** method displays a //text// value into a given status bar zone, specified by //zone//.

**Implementation:**

The **ShowOnStatusBar** method is called from the ToShowValues method. If a window has a separate status bar defined, the //eShowSBonFirstThread// property determines the target.
