I've written Excel VBA code to do some calculations. The code uses the Application.StatusBar property to write various messages and data to the Excel status bar. That part is working fine.

The VBA code also calls the Excel Solver add-in. The Solver also writes its status messages to the Excel status bar. That part is also working fine.
Unfortunately, the VBA messages are being disrupted (covered up) by the Solver messages.

I'm trying to prevent the Solver messages from being displayed as they serve no immediate purpose in the program's operation and they cause the VBA messages to be hidden. So far, I haven't found a solution to stop the display of the Solver messages.

Is there a way to prevent the Solver messages appearing on the status bar so that the VBA messages can be displayed without being disrupted by the Solver messages?

Thanks for any advice.
