The functionality of the status bar control is very simple. The control is made up of panel objects that are stored in a panels collection. The panels can either store text or the status of things like caps lock, scroll lock, date, num lock, etc.


By default, 1 panel already exists in the status bar control. In this example, the first panel holds the date, the second panel holds the status of the num lock key.


#DEFINE sbrDate 6
#DEFINE sbrNum 2

thisform.olecontrol1.panels.add()
thisform.olecontrol1.panels(1).Style = sbrDate
thisform.olecontrol1.panels(2).Style = sbrNum


Or, the control can store text:

x = 0

thisform.olecontrol1.panels(1).Text = "1"
thisform.olecontrol1.panels(1).tooltiptext = "1"
for x = 2 to 3
oPanel = thisform.olecontrol1.panels.add()
oPanel.Text = str(x)
oPanel.tooltiptext = str(x)
next x
