Custom StatusBar control questions

L

lj

As part of the learning experience, I placed one of the 'more controls' from
the Toolbox onto my form - the StatusBar control. I like the idea of having
the
status bar on the actual form rather than the default one at the bottom of
the screen (my forms are all around 7" x 5", auto-centered and do not
maximize) This would bring the helpful hints closer to the user's eye
level...

I am wondering if there is a way to write code in one place that will tell
each of the controls to use their own status bar text as the source for the
custom control.

If I code each individual control's GotFocus() to be:

Me.sbrMyStatusBar.Panels(1).Text = [CtlName].StatusBarText

it works. But that is very tedious. And the text of the custom status bar
does not return to blank or default once you leave the control; do I have to
also write code for each LostFocus() event?

Hoping someone has played around with this control a little....
(Access 2003, StatusBar control version 6.0, .mdb is in A2003 format)

Thanks in advance,
