CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

[Krool]

I show the vbLongDate and vbLongTime in the StatusBar. With every new version, I would go into StatusBar.ctl's Sub GetDisplayText to change Case SbrPanelStyleTime and Case SbrPanelStyleDate accordingly.

Without changing StatusBar.ctl, is there any way I can make the change in my project Form_Load? This will make it much easier.

For the panel's 'Style' property values 'Time', 'Date' and 'DateTime' the vbShortDate/vbShortTime will be used for the GetDisplayText function. Just like the MS StatusBar control does.

However, I could implement a panel's 'DTFormat' property? Which is set by default with 'Short', but could be then also set to 'Long'.
If set to 'Long' then the GetDisplayText function would use vbLongDate/vbLongTime instead of vbShortDate/vbShortTime.

Let me know your opinion.
