Reporting Status
The status bar is used to report the present status to the user. When a feature is initiated,
the status bar will be updated with a brief description of the function. The status bar will
also be updated at key points in a time-consuming function.
If an error is to be reported to the user, it is displayed in the status bar as well as dis-
played in a common error dialog box. This means the user is not delayed from progress-
ing on to the next operation unless an error occurs; in which case, the user will have to
acknowledge the error by pressing the OK button.
