### Description

Gets or sets the text of the status bar. When a text is set, the status bar shows this text until a status of a connected [WPF.TextControl](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/textcontrol/llms-full.txt) changes.

### Syntax

```csharp
public string Text { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property Text As String
```

### Examples

The following example uses `StatusBar.Text` to replace the status bar's displayed content. The configured value is checked before the workflow continues.

```csharp
statusBar.Text = "Quarterly results";
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(statusBar.Text))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Text: {statusBar.Text}");
}
```

```vbnet
statusBar.Text = "Quarterly results"
If Not String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(statusBar.Text) Then
    Console.WriteLine($"Text: {statusBar.Text}")
End If
```
