Change status in status bar

Question

I want to use bpy.context.workspace.status_text_set(text="HelloWorld")

The problem is it is working just in draw, modal, execute methods of my operators, but I want to change it from class which not inherited from bpy.types.Operator in this class bpy.context.workspace is None

Answer 1

Problem solved with global variable and function which registered as blender timer.

status = {'prev': None, 'new': None}


def set_status(text):
    try:
        status.update({'prev': status['new'],
                       'new': text})
    except:
        pass


def status_timer():
    try:
        if status['new'] != status['prev']:
            bpy.context.workspace.status_text_set(text=status['new'])
        return 1
    except Exception as e:
        return None

and add to register() function bpy.app.timers.register(status_timer)
