    Text in status bar

    I found this piece of code on the internet
    Code:
    CString s = "Text";
    CStatusBar* p =
    (CStatusBar*)AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->GetDescendantWindow(AFX_IDW_STATUS_BAR);
    p->SetPaneText(1, s);
    It is supposed to write some text in the statusbar but I can't get it to work. Is there anyone that have any good ideas about how do do this.
    Thanks

    Never mind I figured out what I needed to do
    Code:
    void Prog::Test() 
    {
    CString s = "Text";
    CStatusBarCtrl* p = (CStatusBarCtrl*)AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->GetDescendantWindow(AFX_IDW_STATUS_BAR);
    
    p->SetText(s,255,SBT_NOBORDERS   );
    	
    }
    That works better
