Status Field (SF)


Description
Should only be used as the child of a Status Area. Allows you to design a complex status bar with several fields. The Caption is used as permanent text and is spaced from the Text so that you might have a caption ‘Bytes copied’ and an integer counter for the text.

N.B. Only one of these fields should take the hints from the main form!
