statusbarItemXYZ.title = something doesnt work as i think(?)

[GronbergInfo]

hi.

I have this menubar item called statusPlaying.
In the start of the program, i set statusPlaying.title = "" and it becomes empty (as expected here)

Then when i click on the menu item or shortcut key for bitMenuItem.Action += new Action(StartMusic);
It does start playing the wav i have in that function, however, now statusPlaying.title = "something" does not update the statusbar item, UNTIL i click on the menubar.
Any idea what i am missing here as why it does not update the title?

Try calling SetNeedsDisplay() on the menu bar

Try calling SetNeedsDisplay() on the menu bar

Can you be a little more specific? When should i run it? Is it enoug to run at the start/main once, or always when i need to update the text?

I gave it a try in the function i have for the text update, and it works!

        private void UpdateMusic(string sText)
        {
            menuBar.SetNeedsDisplay();
            statusPlaying.Title = sText;
        }
