>> Check out very cool Status Bar replacement
>The problem I got with status bar replacement (e.g. in a bottom of a form instead in the botton of the screen) is that all the messages are sent to the main status bar and we need a way to copy the message to the new one. First my apps are coded with @say/get and define menu/popup. Then it's not controls with statusbartext property. I have already tried with a timer to copy message from main vfp statusbar to a new status bar, but that causes problem with read command. And when I put the timer off, and use a function with message clause, then the @get message is displayed but not the one for menu/popup (include in define).
If you need some feature that is not in the ctl32_statusbar, feel free to ask me and I will do my best to add it. There is a way to display the menu statusbar messages without a timer, if you really need that I guess I could add that.
To see why I had to use a timer to work around VFP bugs, check this blog post by Calvin Hsia, that also shows a way to display the menu status bar messages
