Dialog.ShowStatus writes to the status bar if one is present. In absence of a
status bar the message is discarded.
Dialog.ShowMsg does multiple things:
- If a status bar is present it writes to the status bar.
- If a log Text is available it writes to the log text.
- If neither a status bar nor a log text is available, a dialog box is opened.
If you have a status bar but no log Text, the two procedures do the same.
The status bar can be disabled by setting Dialog.showsStatus to FALSE.
