Alex,
Thanks for the insight. We went down the road of subclassing but we kept
running into a series of errors which required more subclassing. Eventually
we decided that we didn't want to mess too much with the core QX v0.8
classes because we didn't want to move too far off of the standard SDK path
for core QX functionality.
Now that we have a little more knowledge on the status bar we will see what
we can do.
Thanks for the help,
Paul
