Hi!

Normally, when you click on a compiler error or warning in the output window or in the error list (in VS 2005 and in VS 2003) the error is highlighted in the code window and the error message is displayed in the status bar. This is even more important when I press F4, because then the output window is hidden due to the auto hide feature of VS.

For some time now I have the problem in VS 2005, that the error message is not displayed (long enough) in the status bar. I can see the message for a fraction of a second then 'Ready' is displayed. When I switch to a different application and switch back to VS everything works as expected.

Best regards,
Hensz

I am seeing the same effect here. Thank you for the clear description. I had not noticed this was broken, just shows how much time I spend reading the status bar

I'd like to add that this bug is driving me nuts due to its interaction with ViEmu. ViEmu's command-line is in the status bar, and most interaction goes there (since in Vim, you're not in insertion mode most of the time, but in normal mode issuing commands from the command-line). Whenever I edit the document, VAX hides the command-line and tells me it's "Ready".

So, add another vote for a fix :)

Build 1559 adds the option to disable VA status bar messages in VC6.
Set HKCU\\Software\\Whole Tomato\\Visual Assist X\\VA6\\EnableStatusBarMessages to 00

This was also a problem in VC6 - double clicking on a build error caused the status bar to show the message for a split-second, but then it would disappear - not very helpful. :-)

The Registry setting (01 to 00) did the job nicely. Thanks a lot.
