It is not clear to me that information is best put in the status bar and not the title bar (which is where Unix-like systems can put it, and even where Explorer does, and can be seen in the minimized versions). So I would think setWindowTitle() was at least as appropriate (and so did the person who wrote its examples). > Someone may hope something else. > > > So, my proposal is to allow users to change the message in status bar. > > I think that a wrapper for function "setstatus" in > src/guiwin32/graphapp/status.c is enough for this purpose. Yes, that has been proposed recently in connection with interfaces for messages(). Note though that at present only the MDI interface has the option of a status bar. I think we should move to a more standard way of having these 'toolbars' on or off (e.g. ticked items on a View menu). -- Brian D.
