[RESOLVED] problem on mdiform and toolbar
I have this main form mdiform and I just knew that I cannot place a textbox or a label there to show any text messages of some sort that I want to display.
Is there a way to place a textbox or label there?
On the other hand, I want to make a marquee text on the toolbar something like that would look like a prompt message. I would like to ask how is it done.
I already tried putting the picturebox there and placing the textbox in the picturebox and it works. but the problem here now is that the child forms are now below that picturebox.

You can add textboxes and labels on the toolbar.

Re: problem on mdiform and toolbar
just drag and drop them on the toolbar. toolbar is a control container like a form or a picture box. in your case, toolbar is the obvious choice

Re: problem on mdiform and toolbar
What about a status bar at the bottom of the form? That's the kind of stuff it's for... just add one, then create a status panel, and set its text property...

Set a picture box in the desired position on the toolbar, make it flat and set the border style to none and change the back color to the color of the toolbar. then add the label on the picture box.

Re: problem on mdiform and toolbar
thanks for the reply kivisoft. while waiting for your reply I also tried that.
do you have an idea on changing font size marquee like if I have the word STATUS, the first letter to the last letter will change one by one of its size. what I have now is running marquee.
