Maintaining status line

Hello,

Presently, my status is set to reflect that of my prompt. However, whenever i switch away from the client, like work a word programme that's half a screen so that I can type while still be aware of my prompt, the status switches to "Ready". Is it possible to maintain my status line to be that of my prompt while i'm not at the client? It would be really helpful if I could.

Does the "Scripts" -> "Events" -> "World Get/Lose Focus" have anything to do with this?

As you can have multiple worlds, but there is only one status line, it only shows the status for the active window (world). When you change to another program there is no active window, so it reverts to the default.

You could make a small notepad window, and use a script or trigger to send status information to that window, and then position it so you can see it while you work on the other program.

Or, more ambitiously, make a COM program that the script can send statuses to (a separate program) - that program displays a small window with whatever message you want in it.

Conceivably Word or Notepad already support that, a bit of browsing the COM methods they support might make that possible without any programming.

Ohh...
Alrighty
thanks Nick

I've noticed the same thing. Nick, would it be possible to implement the status line to reflect the topmost ZOrder of the mdi children, as opposed to focus? This would have the 'best of both worlds' The active window always being the top most ZOrder, and wouldn't require MushClient to have focus.

Just a suggestion. :)
