Command Button and Status Bar Text

[crewchiefpro6]

I am having a problem getting the Status Bar text to change for the command buttons on my form. Whenever they have focus there is no information in the status bar even though I have information in the event. The status bar text works fine for all my other controls.

What am I missing?

Why you not use ToolTipText property?
If you want to use this don't forget to set ShowTips property of the Form to .t.

Don,

Are the buttons by any chance in a container, such as a CommandGroup? If so, it's just possible that might be the problem.

The tool tips show up when the mouse hovers over it.

This is not part of a command group, it is just a normal command button, and not subclassed. I can click to another control and return with the enter key but still no statusbar text even though the other controls have it.

Are these plain vanilla buttons or are they based on one of your classes?

I must confess I had similar problems with the Status Bar last year but rather than struggle to resolve the problem I put a status bar onto each form and controlled it from GetFocus and LostFocus.
