Is there any way, using LabWindows/CVI, to add a status line to the bottom of a panel? (the bottom line, by or beneath the scroll bar, that holds stuff like the line numbers, which URL you're looking at, or the keyboard caps-lock status).

Hi,
so far there is no native status line control, see http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabWindows-CVI-Idea-Exchange/status-bar-control/idi-p/1458354.
But you can use regular text or numeric indicators whetre you can display line numbers...

Ok, that's what I figured. I rolled my own: added a text box control and code to size it to the bottom of the window whenever the main panel is resized or moved (don't forget to take into account the main panel frame width - the width of the control is set to the width of the main panel - 2 * the frame width, the upper left corner of the control is at (0,Y) where Y= height of main panel - (height of control + (2*frame width)) ).
