Hi,

My question is how add text message support in StatusBar.

I suggest you could try to add the text by SetPaneText(0, "Something").

You could refer to the Doc: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/mfc/reference/cstatusbar-class?view=msvc-160#setpanetext

I handle WM_SETMESSAGESTRING in DialogBar derived class but this message is not sent to it!

Whether you have captured the following message?

ON_MESSAGE(WM_SETMESSAGESTRING, OnSetMessageString)  


LRESULT CMainFrame::OnSetMessageString(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)  
{  
    if (wParam == AFX_IDS_IDLEMESSAGE)  
    {  
        m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneText(0,m_sStatusBarText);  
        return 0;  
    }  
  
  
    return CFrameWndEx::OnSetMessageString(wParam,lParam);  
}  

Best Regards,

Jeanine
