Yup, this works.

What I do is use a ToolBar with the dock property set to 3 (bottom) - this is my status bar. I then have TextBoxes in the ToolBar which are used for StatusBarText (_VFP.StatusBar) Date(), Time() NUMLOCK(), CAPSLOCK(), INSMODE, ProgressBar, or anything thing else the app calls for. The application (or form) timer then updates their values

>>I need to show the clock (SET CLOCK TO x,y) on a form who's ShowWindow property is set to 2 (Top Level Form)? However, since the "desktop" is not visible in a top level form it does not appear. I tried to turn on the status bar too, not really what I want, but it is not visible either. Any ideas on how to show the clock on a top level form?
