Status Bar Help

[RuiLoureiro]

Hi
                  I want to create 2 status bars: one above the other at the bottom

The code:

Code Select Expand

.data
_hWndStat1      dd 0
_hWndStat2      dd 0
_StatClass      db  'msctls_statusbar32',0

_StaBarError1   dd 0
_StaBarError2   dd 0
_sbParts        dd 4 dup (0)
;...........................................

                mov        _hWndStat1, eax
                cmp        eax, 0
                jne        @F
                ; 
                call    GetLastError
                mov        _StaBarError1, eax

        and RETURNS with EAX = TRUE

        doenst WORK.

       The second Status Bar stays at the TOP where it was created
        and _StaBarError2 = 0 and means: It was moved.

        Whats wrong here ? How to solve the problem ?
        Can anyone help me

For the second Status Bar, instead of CCS_TOP, try CCS_NOPARENTALIGN along with a non-zero Width for MoveWindow.

For the second Status Bar, CCS_NOPARENTALIGN along with a non-zero Width .

Hi wjr,
           Thank you . It seems to work, but today it is late here.
            I will come back tomorrow
