Display information text below the open file tabs

Question

I am writing an VSIX extension for Visual Studio 2019 and I want to display some "information text" to the user. I really like the way that auto-format displays them.

Now, how would I create such an window. I would hope that it is just a matter of something like Message.DisplayInfo() or whatever. Anyhow I would rather think that you'd need to create a new Window, if this is the case, how would I get it's Guid?

See Infobars documentation when it is appropriate to use and how to implement. This Notifications and Progress for Visual Studio document also lists other options.
