A status bar is a narrow window that can be placed along the bottom of a frame to give
small amounts of status information. It can contain one or more fields, one or more of which can
be variable length according to the size of the window.
ST_SIZEGRIP |
On Windows 95, displays a gripper at right-hand side ofthe status bar. |
See also window styles overview.
It is possible to create controls and other windows on the status bar. Position these windows
from an OnSize event handler.
Constructor, creating the window.
Destructor.
Creates the window, for two-step construction.
See StatusBar.new for details.
Returns the size and position of a field’s internal bounding rectangle.
true if the field index is valid, false otherwise.
Returns the number of fields in the status bar.
Returns the string associated with a status bar field.
The status field string if the field is valid, otherwise the empty string.
Sets the field text to the top of the stack, and pops the stack of saved
strings.
Saves the current field text in a per field stack, and sets the field text
to the string passed as argument.
Sets the number of fields, and optionally the field widths.
Sets the minimal possible height for the status bar. The real height may be
bigger than the height specified here depending on the size of the font used by
the status bar.
Sets the text for one field.
StatusBar#get_status_text, Frame#set_status_text
Sets the widths of the fields in the status line. There are two types of
fields: fixed widths one and variable width fields. For the fixed width fields
you should specify their (constant) width in pixels. For the variable width
fields, specify a negative number which indicates how the field should expand:
the space left for all variable width fields is divided between them according
to the absolute value of this number. A variable width field with width of $-2$
gets twice as much of it as a field with width $-1$ and so on.
For example, to create one fixed width field of width $100$ in the right part of
the status bar and two more fields which get $66$\% and $33$\% of the remaining
space correspondingly, you should use an array containing $-2$, $-1$ and $100$.
The widths of the variable fields are calculated from the total width of all fields,
minus the sum of widths of the non-variable fields, divided by the number of
variable fields.
StatusBar#set_fields_count, Frame#set_status_widths
Sets the styles of the fields in the status line which can make fields appear flat
or raised instead of the standard sunken 3D border.
SB_NORMAL |
(default) The field appears sunken with a standard 3D border. |
SB_FLAT |
No border is painted around the field so that it appears flat. |
SB_RAISED |
A raised 3D border is painted around the field. |
