So far so good. I use the statusbar tool to create a Normal status bar. I include a line of text and change the width to 400 to support the text. I check the bold under fonts and MS Sans Serif for font type.
The Visual Designer shows the status bar and the rest of my form perfectly including the status bar text.
When I compile and run the form and status bar show up great BUT with NO TEXT LINE ....
Is there a known issue or have I missed something?
I see if I check Simple status bar No Text will display in the visual designer even if I enter it.
Thanks for any help.

Ok an update. If I select Normal style and put text in the text area it shows on the visual designer but not when compiled and run.
However if I select Simple style and put the same text in the text area under simple style it shows on the visual designer and it also shows the text when compiled and run.
I was thinking it should work for both styles but I can use simple for now.
Let me know if something I am doing is incorrect since I cannot get ANY TEXT to show when compiled and run using the Normal Style and putting the text in the box there.
Thanks again.
I am really liking Firefly!

Hi Wayne, I think you need to create 1 or more "Panels" if you are using Normal style. You can then put text in those panels (or other things as well). Normal uses Panels whereas Simple does not. I think this may be what you are experiencing (I am not at my development computer to test it).
Thanks, worked perfectly.
