Statusbar Hidden

[jerryclement]

Hello,
I need some newbie help. I attached a program that started out from the EB demo editor.eba. I added a bunch of buttons, resized the RichEdit control, and added a statusbar from the demo statusbar.eba.  This is where I ran in trouble.  The statusbar is there, but you have to drag the bottom of the window to see it??  I have tried for over an hour changing all window sizes with no luck. If someone could help me locate the problem, I'd sure appreciate your help.

When you ad a "BEGINMENU" block to your window it automatically pushes everything on the screen down but doesn't increase the window size.
So your status bar is getting pushed lower.

The solution is to move the "BEGINMENU" block to BEFORE you create the STATUS control and everything gets taken care of.

   WOW!  Thanks a lot Larry for the help, it fixed the problem!
It makes sense NOW that you pointed the sequence out.  I learn a lot by browsing here and reading the posts.

Thanks again,  Jerry
