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

307 gets twice as much of it as a field with width -1 and so on.
308
309 For example, to create one fixed width field of width 100 in the right part of
310 the status bar and two more fields which get 66% and 33% of the remaining
