Perhaps this will give you an idea:

I use a top-level UD Method (called "Message" of course) for this. In this method is simply this code:

Lparameters cText
thisform.toolstat.statbar.panels(1).text = cText

The main TL form is called, for example, TopMain, so to place messgaes on the activex bar you just need a call like:

topmain.message('Hello There!')
or
topmain.message('') && to clear the bar

Note: The activex statusbar is encased in a vfp toolbar, it works much better for me that way.
