Changing Status Bar

[demonx]

Alright I'm sure there is a simple answer to this but I am a less than expert programmer. On certain events(namely a winsock connect) I want the text in a statusbar panel to change.

On FormLoad() I used :
frmMain.StatusBar1.Panels(1).Text = "TEST"

-- I run it, and it shows TEST in the panel.

Ok, so on an event in winsock1 I enter the exact same code and it does nothing. I've tried it so many times. I've done it with frmMain.StatusBar1.Panels.Item(1).Text = "TEST" and I still get no result.

Thanks for any help

try...........

frmMain.StatusBar1.Panels(1).Text = "TEST"

Well, I through a command button in and did

Dim TEXT as String
TEXT = "TEST"
frmMain.StatusBar1.Panels(1).Text = TEXT


- and it worked

I through the same code into my winsock control's Connect function and it .. didnt work.

Its messed up.
