remove/add panels in the status bar at run time

[lottoman2000]

Hello all,


I did not find a hide/show methods for the statusbarpanel class. As a
work around I tried removing the panel and then add it back when I need
it. I can remove the panel with no problems. But when I try to add it,
I am getting an exception: Object already has a parent.


To remove the panel I am using the following statement:
Me.stbStatus.Panels.RemoveAt(3)


To add:
Me.stbStatus.Panels.Add(Me.StatusBarPanel2)
or
Me.stbStatus.Panels.Add(3,Me.StatusBarPanel2)


Any help is appreciated.

You can use the statusbar.visable = true/false

Thats if I want to hide the status bar. What I am trying to do is to hide some of the panels on the status bar.

Oh I got ya, ok well if you want to hide a panel set the min width to 0 and then to hide it just set it's width to 0
