DateTimeToStr(); on status bar?

hi guys,
i need a small help, as you can imagine from the thread title i m learning delphi language.

the problem now is i tried to put the DateTimeToStr(now); function on status bar.

i need it once the form load. i tired with onLoad event.
what is the best event to use. to have to once the form starts?

Code:

var statustime : string;
statustime := ' The Date and Time is: ' + DateTimeToStr(Now)+ ' .';
caption.text.statustime;

hope you got my problem

thanks

Try this:
1. Set the SimplePanel property of the Statusbar component to True.
2. On the OnActivate event, add this line:
Statusbar1.SimpleText := DateTimeToStr(Now);

If you want the time to keep updating every second, do this:
1. Drop a TTimer Component on the form (it's on the System tab of components).
2. Set the Interval property as needed (or keep the default 1000, which is 1 second).
3. On the Timer's OnTimer event, add this line:
Statusbar1.SimpleText := DateTimeToStr(Now);
