[Geany-Devel] Problems calling ui_update_statusbar from a plugin

[Lex Trotman]

See the big warning message at the start of the plugins doco
http://www.geany.org/manual/reference/ "Do not use any symbol not in
the documentation".

On more recent versions of Geany the restriction on use of functions
not in the API is better enforced to reduce the risk of accidental
use.  Functions not in the API never worked on Windows I believe, so a
plugin that used non-API functions was not portable as well as
possibly breaking without warning.

Can you not use
http://www.geany.org/manual/reference/ui__utils_8h.html#aa0948006d2f45a2a2a6b7da40169b8ac

Cheers
