### Description

Specifies the status bar control to be used with a TextControl. The property value is an empty string, if there is no status bar connected. Otherwise it must be the name of an existing [WPF.StatusBar](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/statusbar/llms-full.txt) object.

### Syntax

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

```vbnet
Public Property StatusBar As String
```

### Examples

The following example uses `TextControl.StatusBar` to configure status bar as part of the text control workflow. The configured value is checked before the workflow continues.

```csharp
textControl.StatusBar = "Quarterly report";
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textControl.StatusBar))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Status Bar: {textControl.StatusBar}");
}
```

```vbnet
textControl.StatusBar = "Quarterly report"
If Not String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textControl.StatusBar) Then
    Console.WriteLine($"Status Bar: {textControl.StatusBar}")
End If
```
