    Sometimes you just feel like shouting "Ha, that was easy!"

    I don't know how many times I have browsed the selected to see how many records I have selected. Do you do the same? No need to do that anymore.

    I thought the Statusbar would be the right place to show this information but I hadn't really considered how hard or easy that would be to implement.

    Turns out that was pretty straight forward with some guidance from @Bill Wemple?'s wonderful document on how to use the different control types. So now the RIBBONLib also supports adding controls, in this specific case a TextBlock, to the Statusbar.

    You will get this feature in the upcoming version of WindowHelper which I hope to release within the next couple of weeks.

    Good stuff Peter. I think this feature should be in the core product.

    Thanks, @Jacob Pescini?. It might get there at some point. I actually can't remember any users asking for it. Maybe it's just me who like this - and you 😀

    I have posted the updated WindowHelper to the Community Download page. You can grab it here: http://communitydownloads.pbinsight.com/code-exchange/download/windowhelper-3.0-x64
