    How To Customise The Status Bar?

    Hi all,

    I need to use VBA for my undergrad dissertation to test my hypotheses (it's about system status visibility) & have successfully implemented progress indicators, however, although I can change the contents of the status bar I need a way to make it more prominent.

    Is there ANY way I can:

    Change the colour of the bar?
    Change the colour of the text?
    Change the size of the bar?
    Change the size of the text?
    Make the text bold?
    Change the font?
    Make the text flash/scroll?

    Thanks in advance,




    Joe

    The properties of the status bar are very limited, don't think any of the features you listed can be changed.

    Do you know . . . ?

    it is possible to use api calls to draw in the status bar region but it is far from easy

    if at first you don't succeed try doing it the way your wife told you to
