Robert,
Here's how to place a Variable control on the Status Bar in
R:BASE 7.5 for Windows Form Designer:
01. Start RBG75 (Update 16 or higher)
02. CONNect dbname
03. Database Explorer | Forms | Design Form |
Form Designer | Additional Controls | Status Bar
Status Bar will be placed at the bottom of your form.
04. Now define a text variable, such as, "vUser" as following:
('User: '&(CVAL('NetUser'))&'on'&(CVAL('Computer')))
05. Select "Variable Edit" control and place it on the Status
Bar.
Assign the "vUser" variable to this control and customize
all properties, if you wish.
06. Click on Run Form (Ctrl+F9) to preview
That's all there is to it!
Running R:BASE Your Way! (Part 10) - "New York Edition", to be
unveiled on Monday, September 19, 2005 at the Advanced R:BASE

additional features and more ...
A more feature-rich application will also be available at the
