Bela:

You can get rid of the status bar with the command SET STATUS BAR OFF.

>>>>You can either create VFP Toolbar class (I like it) or separate container class with included StatusBar OCX. Call either new class 'clStatusbar' and then you can use _SCREEN.Addobject('oStatusbar','clStatusbar') to instanciate object from the class into _SCREEN container.
