Manuel,

Nice to meet you too. I haven't used MS StatusBar control in VFP (as far as I recall, I used it in VB) and I doubt, there is a way to catch Menu Messages. Probably some API can help you here, but I'm not a guru. Basically, you can just set it, when menu Item is selected. I'm not sure, hovewer, that selecting a menu item triggers some VFP event, that can be recognized. Let's hope, somebody else will jump into this thread, who can elaborate more.

Best wishes,
