StatusBar Date and Time

When will Date and Time types be added to the StatusBar objects?

Currently there is CapLock, NumLock and (the ever useful) ScrollLock, but unlike even the basic VB6 standard statusbar, there is no Date or Time (or Kana) objects.

All your competitors have this and as I said, even the normal VB6 control has it.

I don't want to use the others or the standard VB6 one, because I want the extra functionality that CodeJock offers, and I don't want to have to set my own timer to handle it either.

In your CommandBars_Update event, just do:

StatusBar.Pane(1).Text = Now  'displays date and time
StatusBar.Pane(2).Text = Date 'displays date
StatusBar.Pane(3).Text = Time 'displays time

Is it really worth adding extra functionality to the control when this can be handled with 1 line of code? :)

By default it is fired every 100ms, although you can modify the UpdatePeriod property if this does not suit your needs.

Try adding a Debug.Print Timer, "CommandBars_Update event fired!" to your code and you can see how it works.

You don't need to set a timer, just use the CommandBars_Update event.... Read my post above for a sample.
