Using VB 6.0 SP6 on XP Pro SP2...

How can I prevent the StatusBar.IdleText from displaying by default when I have set the pane text in code and the user moves the mouse over the toolbar?

If I set the status bar pane text in code to lets say "busy"...the status bar pane text unexpectedly changes to "ready" when the user hovers the mouse over the toolbar menu.

In addition, when I have code modules running that sets the pane to lets say "step 1" (and the user does not move the mouse)...then I set the pane text to "step 2" in code (and again the user does not move the mouse)...the problem I have is that the StatusBar.IdleText of "ready" is displayed in the pane before "step2" is displayed in the pane.

Setting the StatusBar.IdleText to an empty string does not help.

I can live with something like "turn status bar display off when user hovers over the toolbar with mouse."

I moved the question to ActiveX. Sorry to offend you MFC guys.
