Description

By default, the statusbar shows its panes and the text/icon within them. You can use the pbSimple property to switch to simple mode. When pbSimple is True, the statusbar only shows a single string and hides its panes and when it is False, it will display the panes again and hide the single string.

This example switches to simple mode, displays a string while it performs an action, then displays the panes again:

Set psSimpleValue To "Working. Please wait."
Set pbSimple To True // hides the panes
// perform action that requires the message to be displayed
// Set pbSimple To False // the panes will be displayed

Default is false.
