CreateStatusWindow

This function creates a status window, which is typically used to display the status of an application. The window generally appears at the bottom of the parent window, and it contains the specified text.

HWND CreateStatusWindow(
LONG style, 
LPSTR lpszText, 
HWND hwndParent, 
WORD wID );

Parameters

  Window styles for the status window. This parameter must include the WS_CHILD style and should also include the WS_VISIBLE style.
• lpszText
  Long pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the status text for the first part.
• hwndParent
  Handle to the parent window.
• wID
  Control identifier for the status window. The window procedure uses this value to identify messages it sends to the parent window.

Return Values

Remarks

The CreateStatusWindow function calls the CreateWindow function to create the window. It passes the parameters to CreateWindow without modification and sets the position, width, and height parameters to default values.
