44 @class wxStatusBar
45
46 A status bar is a narrow window that can be placed along the bottom of a frame
47 to give small amounts of status information. It can contain one or more fields,
48 one or more of which can be variable length according to the size of the window.
49
50 wxStatusBar also maintains an independent stack of status texts for each field
51 (see PushStatusText() and PopStatusText()).
52
53 Note that in wxStatusBar context, the terms @e pane and @e field are synonyms.
54
55 @beginStyleTable
56 @style{wxSTB_SIZEGRIP}
57 Displays a gripper at the right-hand side of the status bar which can be used
58 to resize the parent window.
59 @style{wxSTB_SHOW_TIPS}
60 Displays tooltips for those panes whose status text has been ellipsized/truncated
61 because the status text doesn't fit the pane width.
62 Note that this style has effect only on wxGTK (with GTK+ >= 2.12) currently.
63 @style{wxSTB_ELLIPSIZE_START}
64 Replace the beginning of the status texts with an ellipsis when the status text
65 widths exceed the status bar pane's widths (uses wxControl::Ellipsize).
66 @style{wxSTB_ELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE}
67 Replace the middle of the status texts with an ellipsis when the status text
68 widths exceed the status bar pane's widths (uses wxControl::Ellipsize).
69 @style{wxSTB_ELLIPSIZE_END}
70 Replace the end of the status texts with an ellipsis when the status text
71 widths exceed the status bar pane's widths (uses wxControl::Ellipsize).
72 @style{wxSTB_DEFAULT_STYLE}
73 The default style: includes
74 @c wxSTB_SIZEGRIP|wxSTB_SHOW_TIPS|wxSTB_ELLIPSIZE_END|wxFULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE.
75 @endStyleTable
76
77 @remarks
78 It is possible to create controls and other windows on the status bar.
79 Position these windows from an OnSize() event handler.
