The Click method of the Microsoft Status Bar ActiveX control can become disabled if a non-modal form is displayed in the form that the Status Bar control is on and then this non-modal form displays a modal form. Once the modal form is closed, the Click method of the Status Bar control will not fire.

NOTE: The following steps assume that the Microsoft Status Bar control, version 5.0 is installed properly on the computer.

1. Extract the contents of the downloaded file.

2. Run the NoClick.scx form.

3. Follow the instructions on the forms in the sample.

4. Note that after the button on the non-modal form is used to display the

   modal form and the modal form is closed, the Click method of the
   StatusBar ActiveX control no longer fires.
