You need to update these values on every WM_MOVE message.

Yes, and I explained what you need to do in your previous question on the matter: Allign text from right side on status bar[^].

Jochen Arndt - Professional Profile[^] also gave you a suggestion in your original question. You just need to use a combination of these methods to build your status string and display it.

Solution 1

What you need is the following code:

CWnd* pwndParent = this->GetParent();

CRect rc;
pwndParent->GetWindowRect(&rc);
