It's been a LONG while since using the built in form designer...

I just built a set of forms... all have status bars. I then realized they are not numbered automatically, they are all zero, so any changes in code..
Gadget numbering, window numbering, & menu numbering all carry over so the forms can all be xincludefile'd; but the status bar gets clobbered on all but one screen.

So I edit the code-view to have each status bar a unique #...but they get overwritten...
What am I missing?

I don't think you are missing something. I think this is a limitation of the form designer. It's built on the premise of one form per file but multiple status bars would need to be enumerated across all forms in the project and there's no provision for this (for statusbars).

right that's done with gadgets & menus (across other forms) but status bar is just 0)

OK,thanks. I think the form designer has gone backwards... but it seemed like the new method had potential..

In my EventDesigner (see signature) I correct these missing constants and rewrite the code from several pdf files into one common file
