Is there a way to read the status area message - I know how to define it (DefineStatusMessage syscall) but don't know how to get/read it please? Thanks in advance
Besides syscall 0x1D77 http://prizm.cemetech.net/index.php/DefineStatusMessage Simon's own documentation also lists:

Code:
syscall 0x02B9 : char*DefineStatusMessage( int mode, void*P2, void*P3 );
mode 0: clears the status-message definition to default values. The message is set to an empty string.
The struct-members are set to (short 1, short 0, int 0, char 0, char 7, short 0).
mode 1: copy the struct-members to *P3.
mode 2: if P2 == 0, the status-message is set to an empty string, else *P2 is copied to the status-message.
*P3 is copied to the struct-members.

The function returns the pointer to the actual status-message.

so that should solve what I wanted but I have not yet checked how however primarily because I opted for alternative ways of successfully displaying current time in the status bar of the majority of built-in apps (see https://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=249380) but if someone can help with the ideas for the rest of them please share them with me here or on my other post (link above).
