Indeed, since it was declared 'const' it will work *if* only one instance of this form is created.

I maintain that this should be a class member (variable). I believe those are all initialized to zeroes too, so you'll only have the set it to True to turn on your indicator.

Of course, do whatever you want in your code.  ;-)
