Display status on window edge?

[george seifert]

How can I display something in the lower left window edge (like where NI displays the project name)? I've seen other applications do this so it must be possible, but I don't know where to start. If not there, could something be displayed on the toolbar or menubar? I'm thinking of displaying test progress there so it would need to be updated while the VI is running.

Can you use a splitter bar? I think these were added in 8.0. You would set the lower pane to be a constant height and disable the vertical and horizontal scroll bars.

I totally forgot about those. Never thought I'd ever use them, but maybe it'll work here.

Yup, that what I use.

I use one up the top when I want to create a toolbar too....
