Status bar service

The IDE provides a service called “IaaStatusbar” to allow its extensions share the same status bar. Extensions can use this service enumerate status bar panels, to show text/images in the panels and subscribe to panel’s event to get notification when it is double-clicked. IDE extension can add its own panels into the status bar and access them using the status bar service. Following is an example of how extensions would use this functionality.

private void WriteStatusBarText(string strText)

{

IaaStatusbar statusbar = m_site.Services[typeof(IaaStatusbar)]

as IaaStatusbar;

if(statusbar != null)

{

IaaStatusPanel pane = statusbar.Panels["usernamepane"];

pane.Text = strText;

}

}
