When user clicks a button on a toolbar we display a message in the Status Bar. However when user moves the mouse out of the button this message disappears because it is changed to "Ready" so the user can not read the message.

It should be noted that MFC does not change Status Bar text. To ensure that I created an MDI MFC application with the Wizard, changed the content of 'OnAppAbout()' method to:

CMainFrame * pFrame = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST(CMainFrame,::AfxGetMainWnd());
if (pFrame)
pFrame->SetMessageText("MessageText MessageText");

Build and run the application, click "?" button and move the mouse out of the button. The Status Bar text was not replaced!

How to allow the user to read a custom message in the Status Bar?
