'Usage
Dim instance As StatusBar
[GuidAttribute("C34301A1-3EF1-41D8-932A-FEA4A8A8CE0C")]

Remarks
There is only one StatusBar object in the IDE.
Because this example lists all of the tasks currently in the TaskList, make sure it contains some tasks before running the code.
Examples
Sub StatusBarExample()
' Create object references and initialize variables.
Dim SBar As StatusBar
Dim TList As TaskList
Dim TItems As TaskItems
Dim TI As TaskItem
Dim count As Long
Dim i As Long
SBar = DTE.StatusBar
' Get references to Task List.
TList = DTE.Windows().Item(Constants.vsWindowKindTaskList).Object
TItems = TList.TaskItems
i = 1
count = TItems.Count
' Loop through Task List items, updating progress bar for each item.
For Each TI In TItems
SBar.Progress(True, TI.Description, i, count)
SBar.SetLineColumnCharacter(i, count, 0)
i = i + 1
MsgBox("Task: " & i - 1 & vbCr & "Description: " & TI.Description & vbCr & "Next task item...")
Next
' All done, so get rid of the bar.
SBar.Progress(False)
