Hi Paul The progress bar is working although not as I would expect. I am using RECCOUNT() to set the ctlMaximum property. Then stepping as I scan 1 step at a time but the progress bar is about 3 quarters full at completion of the scan. This shows the same if I do a partial scan i.e. scan for something = something by counting first and setting the max to that.
I will try your suggestions about SET Talk etc. Cheers Peter P.S. Thank your mum for the sandwiches. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Newton Sent: 22 October 2007 16:32 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Ctrl32_StausBar 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.
