Two issues here: (1) Fixed: Error not being able to fully delete the last remaining Statusbar Panel, and (2) The compile error: Not sure best approach to "fix" this one because when a Statusbar is created there is default boiler plate code added to the editor in order to make life for the programmer easier. In this case, code is added that allows the user to add user code to handle clicking on individual panels. This is similar to boiler plate code added for the menu Editor in order to create a template that the user can add code to in order to respond to menu selections. The easiest solution is for the programmer to be aware that if he removes a Statusbar then he must either comment out the generated Statusbar_Click code or delete it all together.

If there is something left that the user can find and comment out in order to compile, that would be workable.

With my current copy, I've just now tried unchecking 'display status bar on form', and commenting out the click event, but I get a bunch of errors in code that is not mine that can't find pStatusBar.

Thanks - yes, I am noticing that also. I am tracking down the source of why the pStatusBar pointer is getting output to the code even though no Statusbar should now be present in the generated code. I'll have this fixed before the next WinFBE upload.

The pStatusBar pointer bug is now fixed. Error in WinFormsX library code, in wfxApplication.inc line 267 needed to be changed to:

ifdef CODEGEN_STATUSBAR
