The Status bar at the bottom of the Console window can be used by a snap-in to show its progress when it is executing a long running task. The status message and progress bar can both be updated by the snap-in. For a detailed example of a snap-in that shows how to use status, see <MMC 3.0 Samples>\StatusSample. It shows how to use status information to update the progress bar. It defines a new type of ScopeNode that adds children to itself every two seconds. While the children are being added, it updates the progress bar in MMC and displays the status bar message. The ReportProgress method is used to show the progress through of the long running task.
