Re: How To: CStatubar panel Right-align text

I need some MFC expert guidance here.

This 3rd party class at codeproject didn't provide the override for
the CStatusBar::SetPaneText().

While I dug into the code to this:

BOOL CExtStatusControlBar::SetPaneText(int nIndex, LPCTSTR
lpszNewText, BOOL bUpdate)
{
    if( nIndex < m_nCount && nIndex >= 0 ){
       _STATUSBAR_PANE_ pane;
       if (PaneInfoGet(nIndex, &pane)) {
          for ( int i = 0; i < m_arrPaneControls.GetSize(); i++ ){
             if (m_arrPaneControls[i]->nID == pane.nID) {
                _STATUSBAR_PANE_CTRL_ *pc = m_arrPaneControls[i];
                if( pc ) {
                   ::SetWindowText(pc->hWnd,lpszNewText);
                   return TRUE;
                }
                return FALSE;
             }
          }
          // regular CStatusBar pane
          return CStatusBar::SetPaneText( nIndex, lpszNewText, bUpdate);
       }
    }
    return FALSE;
}

I would like to simplify this by getting the specific CStatusBar pane
window handle so I can take control of the attributes. I just don't
see any public members in its in CStatusBar or its base CControlBar
class to access the pane windows.

Do you see how without duplicating this class?
