Status line update from Lua

[Robin]

How does one update the status line from Lua?

For example, if in Lua I set a property using

props["myprop.example"] = myvalue

how can the status line that contains a reference to

... $(myprop.example) ...

be updated?

I can always press the up/down arrow, etc., but I would like to have the status line updated via code.

Thank you.

Here working example:

SciTEStartup.lua:
-----------------
function OnDwellStart(pos, word)
props["current.word"]=word
scite.UpdateStatusBar()
end
props["dwell.period"] = 50

SciTEUser.properties:
---------------------
statusbar.visible=1
statusbar.number=1
statusbar.text.1=\
Line $(LineNumber) Col $(ColumnNumber)\
| Select: $(SelHeight) lines $(SelLength) bytes\
| $(OverType)\
| $(EOLMode)\
| $(current.word)
