Status bar back color

[Douglas McDonald]

I must be missing something simple here but I can't seem to set the Status bar back color.

I can set the text ok:
FF_StatusBar_SetText( HWND_STARTFRM_STATUSBAR, 2,"Test in progress  PLEASE WAIT")

But I can't get this to work:
StatusBarColor = FF_StatusBar_SetBgColor( HWND_STARTFRM_STATUSBAR,%RGB_YELLOW  )

Ideas?
Thanks
Doug

As a matter of fact I can set any control colors other than font using Sub FF_Control_SetColor.

Most of my forms are TAB control Child

I'm using FF3.6

Any thoughts?

Thanks

You must make it ownerdraw and paint the background yourself.
