how does Statusbar or SET MESSAGE work ?

[Jimmy]

hi,

i have a Statusbar / SET MESSAGE in my App.
but how does it work

i have try

Code: Select all  Expand view

  oStatusBar:SetMsg( cText )

or

Code: Select all  Expand view

  oMain:SetMsg( cText )

but it "seems" to have no Effect

when "move" Mouse fromOne TGrid() to other TGrid() i got Message in Statusbar of Select Item (even when have no Focus)
but it does not change when "navigate" in TGrid ...

what i´m doing wrong

hi,

it does work now ... but after some Time it (automatic) disappear

as i want to use Color i have take SET MESSAGE ... but "where" can i put Object "Name"
so i use CLASS TMsgBar() Syntax

Code: Select all  Expand view

  oStatusBar := TMsgBar():New( oMain, "",, .T., .T., .T., BFCOLOR, BGCOLOR, oFontSmall, .F., .F., .F., .F., .F. )

have use all Parameter which seems to be OK, but why does Message disappear

Code: Select all  Expand view

oStatusBar:cMsgDef = "My message"

hi Enrico,

Code: Select all  Expand view

oStatusBar:cMsgDef = "My message"

YES, that work when set last String also to o:cMsgDef

Question : can you tell me "why" there is a "Timeout"
