Remarks

COM Signature

From vsshell.idl:

HRESULT IVsStatusbar::SetInsMode(  
   [in]VARIANT *pvInsMode  
);

The insert or overwrite information is displayed in a specific panel of the editor information area of the status bar, which is used only by this method.

The VARIANT must be a VT_I4 or VT_BSTR. A VT_BSTR refers to the actual text that will be placed in the status bar to indicate the insert or overwrite mode of the editor window. A VT_I4 refers to the following enumeration:

enum

{

UIE_TEXTINSMODE_INSERT= 0, /* Writes "INS" in the status bar */

UIE_TEXTINSMODE_OVERSTRIKE = 1/* Writes "OVR" in the status bar */

};

When the VARIANT is a VT_I4, the method tests for UIE_TEXTINSMODE_INSERT; anything else is interpreted as UIE_TEXTINSMODE_OVERSTRIKE.

For more information about the VARIANT structure, refer to the Automation documentation in the Platform SDK of the MSDN Library.
