FWIW My string was A/D Overload.

 

I did the test when the program started in the CWinApp before anything else.

 

Its almost as though the pointer to the resouces have been messed up, but if I do not call SetIndicator() then everything works ok (except of cource the app does not have the indicators on the StatusBar.

 

I suggest using the CString member to format the string and see that the text resource hasn't been removed.

if(!m_wndStatusBar.Create(this) || !m_wndStatusBar.SetIndicators(indicators,sizeof(indicators)/sizeof(UINT)))
      {
      TRACE0("Failed to create status bar\n");
      return -1;      // fail to create
      }

 

where:

static UINT indicators[] =
     {
     ID_SEPARATOR,           // status line indicator
     ID_INDICATOR_LINE,
     ID_INDICATOR_CP,
     ID_INDICATOR_OVR,
     ID_INDICATOR_CAPS,
     ID_INDICATOR_NUM,
     ID_INDICATOR_SCRL,
     };

and

 

#define ID_INDICATOR_LINE               61452
#define ID_INDICATOR_CP                 61453

 

This worked on previous versions.

 

The following appears in the debugging log:

 

Warning: failed to load indicator string 0xF00C.
Failed to create status bar

 

Has something changed in how the ID's should be defined?
