Editor: The CCRP StatusBar Control, Beta 1, is now available. The new CCRP StatusBar allows the developer to easily access the StatusBar included within Comctl32.dll without using comctl32.ocx. Providing many features over and above the MS Comctl version, the CCRP StatusBar is sure to find a permanent home in your Toolbox.
The Beta version of the control is available in a VB5-SP2/3 compile. The version 6 build will be made available once the control moves out of beta, and issues raised by users are addressed.
Developed by Ben BAIRD (beta 1), the features provided include:
PanelClick and PanelDblClick events for detecting mouse actions from the user.
Picture, ForeColor, BackColor, and Font properties for each panel in the StatusBar.
Provide a ToolTip for each StatusBar panel.
MenuHelp support.
