Statusline HOWTO?

[Henrik_Volkers]

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to implement an status information line in my application window to display stuff like used configuration, runtime etc. (LV6.1prof)

The only way I currently see is the Windows titlebar, which I don't really want use for this kind of information.
(Perfekt would be something like the ie statusline)
Any suggestions ?

Hi Henrik

If you are using windows you can use an ActiveX status bar. I have some VIs
demonstrating this if you want. Post your email address here and i will
send them.

Werner,

thanks for the quick reply.
I was looking for something that belongs to the window (frame) not to the window content. So some information is always visible (as long as the window size is not too tall) no matter where the user scrolls.

A workaround (LV6.1) is attached.

Regards
Henrik

it's in the attached vi.
Sorry, just to prevent spam.

If you application has no scrollbars, then you can simply place a string
indicator or a collection of status indicators at the edge of the window.

At the moment there is no automatic way to keep the indicators on the
edge of the window while scrolling. You can do this by responding to
scrolling and moving the indicators, but it will flash a bit.
