    my $win = $cui->add('window_id', 'Window');

    # The hard way.
    # -------------
    my $dialog = $win->add(
        'mydialog', 'Dialog::Status',
    -message   => 'Hello, world!',
    );

    $dialog->draw();

    $win->delete('mydialog');

    # The easy way (see Curses::UI documentation).
    # --------------------------------------------
    $cui->status( -message => 'Some message' );

    # or even:
    $cui->status( 'Some message' );

Curses::UI::Dialog::Status is not really a dialog, since the user has no way of interacting with it. It is merely a way of presenting status information to the user of your program.

See exampes/demo-Curses::UI::Dialog::Status in the distribution for a short demo.

* -title < TEXT >

Set the title of the dialog window to TEXT.

* -message < TEXT >

This option sets the initial message to show to TEXT.

* new ( OPTIONS )

* layout ( )

* draw ( BOOLEAN )

These are standard methods. See Curses::UI::Container for an explanation of these.

* message ( TEXT )

This method will update the message of the status dialog to TEXT. For this update to show, you will have to call the draw method of the progress dialog.
