Hi Everyone!

I am writing a new app that will use a StatusBar at the bottom of the main window (just like I have done many times in the past - with both Delphi and Lazarus). Strangely enough, even though I have nothing but the gui implemented (no app specific code, etc.), the StatusBar does NOT display until I manually resize the main window, at which time, it appears as appropriate with its two panels visible. To isolate the problem further, I temporarily set the color to blue to see if it were only panel contents that were not showing. In this test, the blue status bar again does not appear until the main form is manually resized.

I have tried a number of hacks, such as programatically changing the Height and/or Width during 1) OnCreate, 2) OnShow, 3) OnPaint, 4) OnTimer (added a hack timer and tried resizing during the event). None of these worked :-(.

I am running Lazarus 1.9 dated 2017-04-17 with high resolution (144 DPI), FPC 3.0.2 (I think I am running the qt toolset, but don't know how to determine that.) This mostly works well (I have a few minor problems with the internal sizing of some controls and control-editors).

Does anyone have an idea for a work around, or suggestions as to where to find the code for TStatusBar?

Thanks,

Don Ziesig
