>When running my application I see a lot of crap showing up on the statusbar like the name of the cdx used, ... How can I get rid of these messages. I know I can fill inthe statusbartext properties on all my controls byt some controls like pageframes, containers and activex controls don's have this ability. Plus I don't want to be obliged to fill in all the statusbartext properties.

A drastic, but effective solution is to use a top-level form with its own statusbar, then you have total control...
