Statusbar Updates/refresh NOT happening

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,
I  am using the statusbar from the Commandbars and was able to create panes successfully!However, changing the text on those panes is a different story.
I need a few custom panes on my statusbar and want them to be refreshed on demand.
I added the following:
Global Const ID_CUSTOM_PANE2 = 302 in a module
StatusBar.AddPane ID_CUSTOM_PANE2  
StatusBar.SetPaneStyle ID_CUSTOM_PANE2, SBPS_STRETCH
StatusBar.SetPaneText ID_CUSTOM_PANE2, "Name: XYZ"

I tried doing the following and was unsucessful...
frmmain.CommandBars.StatusBar.SetPaneText ID_CUSTOM_PANE2,"Name: To be updated!!!!"
Is there an refresh method for the statusbar??? Are you going to support a better statusbar in the newer versions which supports Icons, custom controls, themes etc.???
Regards,

Ash

	First parameter of SetPaneText and SetPaneWidth is Index, not Id. StatusBar.SetPaneText 2, "Name: XYZ"
