OutputVar := Mfunc.StatusBarGetText([Part#, WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText])

Wrapper for Autohotkey - StatusBarGetText.
Static method.
This command attempts to read the first standard status bar on a window (Microsoft common control: msctls_statusbar32). Some programs use their own status bars or special versions of the MS common control, in which case the text cannot be retrieved.
Rather than using this command in a loop, it is usually more efficient to use StatusBarWait, which contains optimizations that avoid the overhead of repeated calls to StatusBarGetText.
Window titles and text are case sensitive. Hidden windows are not detected unless DetectHiddenText has been turned on.
