Overview
In the status bar description window, you can specify the options that will appear in each cell of the status bar.
Type of cell in the status bar
You can display:
  • The progress bar displayed by ProgressBar.
  • The help message of the control that receives focus (help message defined in the "Help" tab of the control or programmatically with the Message property).
  • The date of the current computer.
  • The time of the current computer.
  • The cursor position in the current Edit control ("Column and row of the caret" option).
  • The status of the Caps Lock key, which indicates if it is enabled.
  • The status of the Insert key, which indicates if it is enabled.
  • The name of the current user in an application that uses the User Groupware.
Two specific options are also available:
  • Programmatically: The options of the status bar can be specified programmatically (using Message, for example).
  • Update event: The "Whenever updating" event is automatically associated with the cell of the status bar. This event is run on a regular basis. This event can contain the elements that will be displayed in the cell, for example.
Characteristics of a cell in a status bar
The status bar description window also allows you to define the display characteristics of the cells:
  • The position of the cell in the status bar.
  • The background image of the cell.
  • The background color of the cell.
  • The width of the cell.
  • Whether the cell is editable.
  • The anchors of the cell (its behavior when the window is resized).
All these characteristics can be manipulated programmatically with the status bar cell properties.
Minimum version required
  • Version 9
