We're using Xtreme Toolkit Pro v.10.42(?)

I opened the StatusBar sample project that came with the toolkit, derived CMyStatusBar from CXTPStatusBar, and added the WM_LBUTTONDOWN handler. This would call CXTPStatusBar::HitTest and pop up a message box telling which pane was clicked.

For some panes it worked (like the CAnimateCtrl), but for others (like the CXTPStatusBarIconPane) the status bar doesn't receive the message. I'm just wondering if anyone has an idea as to why that is. I thought perhaps CXTPStatusBarIconPane was already handling the message, but I looked at CXTPStatusBarIconPane and its parents up to CWnd and don't see anyone already fielding it.

Thanks in advance.

Stephen

Hi,

Because CXTPStatusBarIconPane is spearate window. you need override it instead.... it was reason why CXTPStatusBarIconPane was removed in some older release.
