I am using VB .net and would like to implement a
statusbar in a Windows CE 4.2 application but am not able
to add any panels. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,


Duane
 
Hello Maarten,

AFAIK panels are not supported in the .NET CF StatusBar class.

I faced the same problem some days ago. So my (newbies) Question: What
is the statusbar control good for when there are no StatusbarPanels
available...?

Well Mathias,

Of course you can still use the StatusBar to display single text messages,
but that is about it. I agree it is limited in functionality. What you could
do is of course is format the message that you want to display in such a way
that you "create" more area's in the StatusBar using white spaces. Another
alternative could be not using the StatusBar at all, but creating a panel on
which you drop a number of labels for each of the StatusBarPanels you want
to have. Ultimately you could create your own StatusBar deriving from
Control and come up with a solution that gives you the functionality you
need.
