Max length of text in statusbar?

[blakeb_1]

Hello, Is there a max length of text that can be shown in the statusbar? I can only get it to hold 127 characters in the statusbar or in a statusbar panel. Blake

Nevermind, I found the answer. Guess I'll have to use a custom statusbar component or make my own.

The statusbar only displays the first 127 characters of the text string. To get around this, I made an owner-drawn panel, and used DrawString to draw the text.
