SB_SETTEXT


SB_SETTEXT 
    wParam = (WPARAM) iPart | uType; 
    lParam = (LPARAM) (LPSTR) szText;

Sets the text in the specified part of a status window.

iPart
Zero-based index of the part to set. If this value is 255, the status window is assumed to be a simple window having only one part.
uType
Type of drawing operation. This parameter can be one of the following values:
0 The text is drawn with a border to appear lower than the plane of the window.
SBT_NOBORDERS The text is drawn without borders.
SBT_OWNERDRAW The text is drawn by the parent window.
SBT_POPOUT The text is drawn with a border to appear higher than the plane of the window.
SBT_RTLREADING Displays text using right-to-left reading order on Hebrew or Arabic systems.
szText
Address of a null-terminated string that specifies the text to set. If uType is SBT_OWNERDRAW, this parameter represents 32 bits of data. The parent window must interpret the data and draw the text when it receives the WM_DRAWITEM message. The text for each part is limited to 127 characters.

The message invalidates the portion of the window that has changed, causing it to display the new text when the window next receives the WM_PAINT message.
