Date Posted: 20 June 2009 at 10:06pm

I am now trying to update a satus bar. Can someone / anyone tell me how.

I am looking at the samples and can not tell how the staus bar is being updated. I am using the syntax control and would like to have the staus bar display the line number. I have this working in a single document. If anynoe can answer my other questions posted earlier on MDI it may answer this one to.

Please let me know what can be done and what info you need from me

Oleg,

Yes this is what I tried in Syntax Edit CurPosChanged event.

frmMain.CommandBars.StatusBar(ID.ID_Status_LineNo).Text = e.nNewRow

But I get an exception message is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" .

I am also having the sam type of issue with updating the ribbon menu and udpdating the Windowlist. When I try to update the commandbars menu it repots that there are no child forms.

I have some more info. I am only having this problem when using the syntaxEdit control. Starting the sample RibbonMDISample add the SyntaxEdit control to the form then the Windows list does not work.

How can I get the SyntaxEdit cotrol to work with an MDI app using Command Bars??

Hi,

You need access StatusBar collection by Index or use FindPane instead.

Oleg,

I get this Exception Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

frmMain.CommandBars.StatusBar.FindPane(ID.ID_Status_LineNo).Text = e.nNewRow

I am only having this issue when the syntax editor is added to the project. The window list is also not being updated.

ust use your ribbion sample and add the drop the syntax control on the frmdocument then run. There is no other code added. The window list is not updated and the find statusbar or command bars does not work.

Works for me.

Add synaxedit and such code

Private Sub AxSyntaxEdit1_CurPosChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As AxXtremeSyntaxEdit._DSyntaxEditEvents_CurPosChangedEvent) Handles AxSyntaxEdit1.CurPosChanged

Dim f As frmMain

f = ParentForm

f.CommandBars.StatusBar.FindPane(ID.ID_INDICATOR_CAPS).Text = e.nNewRow

End Sub

Hi,

Problem that .NET after it see that form has some ActiveX object recreates MDI child and assigns wrong ID for it.

As workaround we can create ActiveX object in _Load event instead.

Private Sub frmDocument_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Me.AxSyntaxEdit1 = New AxXtremeSyntaxEdit.AxSyntaxEdit

CType(Me.AxSyntaxEdit1, System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize).BeginInit()

Me.SuspendLayout()

'AxSyntaxEdit1

Me.AxSyntaxEdit1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(29, 12)

Me.AxSyntaxEdit1.Name = "AxSyntaxEdit1"

Me.AxSyntaxEdit1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(251, 235)

Me.AxSyntaxEdit1.TabIndex = 0

Me.Controls.Add(Me.AxSyntaxEdit1)

CType(Me.AxSyntaxEdit1, System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize).EndInit()

Me.ResumeLayout(False)

End Sub
