Managing the VFP Notification Bar

[mm0000]

In my application the table that is open along with 'Exclusive' or 'Record Unlocked' etc... is displayed in the notification area.

Q 1 - How do I prevent display of this information.

Q 2 - If possible, how can I utilize this band by displaying, say the value of a memory variable in this band?

thanks.

HI
Q 1 - How do I prevent display of this information.

SET NOTIFY OFF
SET STATUS OFF
SET STATUS BAR OFF

Q 2 - If possible, how can I utilize this band by displaying, say the value of a memory variable in this band
You can use the command..
SET MESSAGE TO myMessage when the answer to Q1 is not implemented.
However, better option could be to post your messages using WAIT WINDOW.... example..
WAIT WINDOW myMessage NOWAIT..

OR..

create a lblMessage as a LABEL with CAPTION = ""
Set this caption to your message value whenever you want to display a message. POsition the lblMessage at the last row or the top row of your form.

Hope this helps you

1.

SET STATUS OFF

2.

THISFORM.controlname.StatusBarText = Value

A form itself does not have a .StatusBarText property - most form objects do, a label is a known exception, and the value can be any legal VFP expression.

You can set the value in code or also in events such as .MouseEnter() in VFP 7.0 HTH
