Peter First of all, the left-hand panel of the status bar is always enabled and unless you set ctl32statusbar.ctlCaption to something of your own will display meesages normally destined for the VFP status bar (like "x records selected in y seconds"). I assume this also depends on SET TALK and maybe SET NOTIFY.
Secondly, the statusbar has a progressbar but you must set it visible with ctl32statusbar.progressbar.ctlvisible = .t. After that you set the progress with ctl32statusbar.progressbar.ctlvalue = x && (0 <= x <= 1). This cannot be done automagically - you need to be in some kind of situation, e.g. a loop (DO WHILE, SCAN, FOR etc etc), where you can determine the value of x to pass.
