Description

The Idle Pane is a cCJStatusBarPane that is used to display the description information about a currently selected menu or toolbar items (see psDescription). When a menu or toolbar item is not selected, this pane will display whatever is in psIdleText.

Within the framework, the message Show_Status_Help is sent to the statusbar each time there is new status information to display. It displays information by setting psIdleText. Therefore psIdleText is being changed all the time and you will normally not set it yourself.

The Idle Pane is designated by setting a statusbar pane's piID property to sbpIDIdlePane. Often this will be the first status pane.
