Specifies the default message to display in the status bar.

Syntax

SET MESSAGE TO [<message expC>]

<message expC>

The message to display

Description

Use SET MESSAGE to set the default message that appears the status bar. Menu items and controls on forms have a statusMessage property. When that object has focus, and that property is not empty, that message is displayed instead.

SET MESSAGE TO without the option <message expC> sets the default message to an empty string, and removes any message from the status bar.

The status bar may be suppressed by setting the _app.statusBar property to false.
