Hey Mirek,

Any chance you could add a couple of ProgressInfo items to your already crowded StatusBar please?

I use the Temporary space at the left plus two InfoCtrls embedded each one in its own InfoCtrl and added to the right then two more InfoCtrls to display other information also added to the right. Like this

// in header
...
	StatusBar 				status;
	InfoCtrl    			m_pos;
	InfoCtrl				m_val;
	InfoCtrl				m_progHolder1;
	InfoCtrl				m_progHolder2;
	ProgressInfo			m_prog1;
	ProgressInfo			m_prog2;

...

// in TopWindow-derived constructor
...
	AddFrame(status);

	Size sz = GetSize();

	m_prog1 = ProgressInfo(m_progHolder1);
	m_prog2 = ProgressInfo(m_progHolder2);
	m_prog1.Text("");
	m_prog1.Width(10);
	m_prog2.Text("");
	m_prog2.Width(10);
	status.AddFrame(m_progHolder2.Right((sz.cx-300)/2));
	status.AddFrame(m_progHolder1.Right((sz.cx-300)/2));
	
	status.AddFrame(m_val.Right(125));
	m_val.Set("No Value");

	status.AddFrame(m_pos.Right(125));
...

It all used to work but now I don't see m_pos or m_val until I've used at least one of the progress controls to load up a large file using multithreading and posting callbacks.

Is there a way to initialise all these controls so that they are all visible from the start please?
