I have a need to get a screen based status bar. Worked with the MSComCtl.Statusbar for the last couple of days. With following problems. Looking for some ideas to overcome problems in any one path.

1). Using Status Bar inside of ToolBar.
Cannot get rid of mover handle. I have researched here and have seen others (Sergey) say you can't. I developing with VFP 8.

2). Using inside of formmade to look like toolbar.
Form is going to show up inside of Windows menu in App. The app allows mulitiple instances of same form. There may be other problems with making this form work beside other forms. I really like the toolbar but cannot get rid of handle.

3). Loading Statusbar directly at startup of app
Cannot figure out how to make visible.

_SCREEN.AddProperty('oStatusBar')
oSB = CREATEOBJECT('MSComctlLib.SBarCtrl.2')
_SCREEN.oStatusBar = oSB

WITH _SCREEN.oStatusBar
      *  What do I call to make visible.
ENDWITH

Thanks for any help. Ron
