Hi,

I would like to display the messages before updating and after it.
During the update, the message is "it is updating, Please wait" in the status bar.
After the update, the message is "updating is completed" in the status bar.

In the event routine of a button click, I did the coding such as the following.
But, it was not successful.

- Start message
- Update processing
- Clear message
- Completion message

I used UpdateDisplay method in the status bar, but it does not work.

<questions>
1. Have anyone used "UpdateDisplay method" to the status bar?
2. Is it possible to update the status bar message in one event?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Rieko Saitoh
