60 @class wxStatusBar
61
62 A status bar is a narrow window that can be placed along the bottom of a frame
63 to give small amounts of status information. It can contain one or more fields,
64 one or more of which can be variable length according to the size of the window.
65
66 wxStatusBar also maintains an independent stack of status texts for each field
67 (see PushStatusText() and PopStatusText()).
68
69 Note that in wxStatusBar context, the terms @e pane and @e field are synonyms.
70
71 @beginStyleTable
72 @style{wxSTB_SIZEGRIP}
73 Displays a gripper at the right-hand side of the status bar which can be used
74 to resize the parent window.
75 @style{wxSTB_SHOW_TIPS}
76 Displays tooltips for those panes whose status text has been ellipsized/truncated
77 because the status text doesn't fit the pane width.
78 Note that this style has effect only on wxGTK (with GTK+ >= 2.12) currently.
79 @style{wxSTB_ELLIPSIZE_START}
80 Replace the beginning of the status texts with an ellipsis when the status text
81 widths exceed the status bar pane's widths (uses wxControl::Ellipsize).
82 @style{wxSTB_ELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE}
83 Replace the middle of the status texts with an ellipsis when the status text
84 widths exceed the status bar pane's widths (uses wxControl::Ellipsize).
85 @style{wxSTB_ELLIPSIZE_END}
86 Replace the end of the status texts with an ellipsis when the status text
87 widths exceed the status bar pane's widths (uses wxControl::Ellipsize).
88 @style{wxSTB_DEFAULT_STYLE}
89 The default style: includes
90 @c wxSTB_SIZEGRIP|wxSTB_SHOW_TIPS|wxSTB_ELLIPSIZE_END|wxFULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE.
91 @endStyleTable
92
93 @remarks
94 It is possible to create controls and other windows on the status bar.
95 Position these windows from an OnSize() event handler.
96
97 @remarks
98 Notice that only the first 127 characters of a string will be shown in
99 status bar fields under pre-XP MSW systems (or even under later systems if
100 a proper manifest indicating that the program uses version 6 of common
101 controls library is not used). This is a limitation of the native control
102 on these platforms.

302 the space left for all variable width fields is divided between them according
303 to the absolute value of this number. A variable width field with width of -2
304 gets twice as much of it as a field with width -1 and so on.

306 For example, to create one fixed width field of width 100 in the right part of
307 the status bar and two more fields which get 66% and 33% of the remaining
308 space correspondingly, you should use an array containing -2, -1 and 100.
