Hi All,
At window activation I prompt LogIn in the message bar. So far so good
Once the user has entered is login name I want to display the user name in the message bar.
So I use:
oMsgBar:SetMsg(cUserName), oMsgBar:Refresh()
I can see the user name display for a fraction of second and LogIn redisplays again on top.
What am I doing wrong ? 
Gilbert,
Do you have a menuitem that uses ... MESSAGE "Login" ?
I had fits with this too. It may be a bug. Here is a workaround.
oWnd:oMsgBar:cMsgDef:=cUserName
oWnd:oMsgBar:setMsg("")
cMsgDef is the message that gets displayed.
This works for me.
