Status Bar Text with Active X Controls

K

Ken Warthen

I have treeview and listview Active X controls on a form. When in form view
when either of these controls has the focus I would like to display some
descriptive text in the status bar. Unlike other Access controls, these
Active X controls do not have a status bar text property. Is there any work
around for this, so I don't have "Form View" displayed in the status bar?

You need the acSysCmdSetStatus and acSysCmdClearStatus actions of the SysCmd
method

Look up SysCmd in Access Help
