Hi,

Is it possible to add a StaticText ctrl and a EditField ctrl to a StatusBar, at the bottom of an application? The target is to allow user to input commands through the EditField ctrl.

Thanks,

Javier

Here is an example,
struct MyApp:TopWindow
{
  StatusBar status;
  EditString editcommand;

  MyApp()
  {
    AddFrame(status);
    editcommand.SetRect(1,1,200,18);
    status.Add(editcommand);
  }
  
}

GUI_APP_MAIN
{
  MyApp app;
  app.Run();
}

Now the question is : how to add Separator to the StatusBar (like in menuBar)?

I use AddFrame but i dislike frame border!!

The separator can be added, as you mention, by AddFrame (or SetFrame)+LeftSeparatorFrame (or RightSeparatorFrame). It looks nice, IMO, and acts similar to Separator in MenuBar.

Here it goes:
//statusbar;
	label_com_editor.SetRect(150,4,60,22);
	label_com_editor.SetText("Command:").SetFrame(LeftSeparatorFrame());//<- This is what you need (I guess).
	.......

Code above places a StaticText (label_com_editor), displaying "Command:" and adds a LeftSeparatorFrame, which inserts a vertical separator at the left of the StaticText.

Let me know if this is what you are looking for.

Cheers,

Javier

That's great! thanks
Only I have the default message in my statusbar that I can't initialize Embarassed

Here is my code:

StaticText  infobar1, infobar2;

...

AddFrame(status);
infobar1.SetRect(0,2,200,15);
infobar1.SetFrame(RightSeparatorFrame());
infobar2.SetRect(0,2,200,15);
infobar2.SetFrame(RightSeparatorFrame());	
status.Add(infobar1.LeftPos(0,300));
status.Add(infobar2.LeftPos(300,300));
status.Add(editCommand);

...

infobar1.SetText(infos1);
infobar2.SetText(infos2);

If what you pursue is to provide functionality to the messages in the StatusBar, check this out:

Section 12.

Yes, but I want to dynamically inform user about what happens in my program (every action the program do). Not only when user want an useful help about a menu or a button in a toolbar.

Then I guess what you need is an InfoCtrl (added to the statusbar). Please, read the Statusbar chapter in the manual.

Cheers,

Javier

Hello,

Here is the correct code:
StaticText  infobar1, infobar2;

...

status.Set(0, "", 0);

AddFrame(status);
infobar1.SetRect(0,2,200,15);
infobar1.SetFrame(RightSeparatorFrame());
infobar2.SetRect(0,2,200,15);
infobar2.SetFrame(RightSeparatorFrame());	
status.Add(infobar1.LeftPos(0,300));
status.Add(infobar2.LeftPos(300,300));
status.Add(editCommand);

...

infobar1.SetText(infos1);
infobar2.SetText(infos2);


I don't know why these codes do not work

status.Set("");
status.SetDefault("");

Thas 's all
