Actually, the wrong thing there is that you are not using StatusBar there Smile

You could replace it with "framed" (FrameBottom) StaticRect (primitive widget that does nothing more than paints itself with defined color) and it would work too.

As you can see, I want to catch the U++ logic... But not very succesfully... Could you just write the correct version Smile

What do you mean by this?
I know that I didn't set the text value for it in this example.

But I want to have e.g an array of controls (e.g. labels with borders etc.) inside StatusBar control and display variuos values. I know I can achieve that different ways.
I just wanted to know capabilities of StatusBar and U++...
I searched in all u++ files and I didn't find any cases where it is used like that.
If StatusBar in U++ at this stage of development can have only 1 text field "natively" like "Ready" and 1 option to overwrite it, then say so...

I am really sorry, but I have misinformed you this time. You are right, I was wrong. You are really supposed to do this this way.

I have posted reference example I have just finished in another topic, anyway it will not hurt to repost it here, in snippets section:

#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>

struct PosDisplay : Display {
	Color color;

	virtual void Paint(Draw& w, const Rect& r, const Value& q,
	                   Color ink, Color paper, dword style) const {
		int i = q;
		w.DrawRect(0, 0, i, r.Height(), color);
		w.DrawRect(i, 0, r.Width() - i, r.Height(), SWhite);
	}
};

struct App : TopWindow {
	StatusBar   status;
	InfoCtrl    pos;
	InfoCtrl    x, y;
	PosDisplay  dx, dy;

	virtual void MouseMove(Point p, dword)
	{
		pos.Set(0, AsString(p.x), 40);
		pos.Set(1, AsString(p.y), 40);
		x.Set(PaintRect(dx, 100 * p.x / GetSize().cx));
		y.Set(PaintRect(dy, 100 * p.y / GetSize().cy));
	}
	
	virtual void LeftDown(Point, dword)
	{
		status.Temporary("Left mouse button pressed!");
	}
	
	App() {
		Sizeable();
		SetFrame(FieldFrame());
		AddFrame(status);
		status.AddFrame(pos.Right(100));
		status.AddFrame(x.Left(100));
		status.AddFrame(y.Left(100));
		dx.color = LtRed;
		dy.color = LtGreen;
	}
};

GUI_APP_MAIN
{
	App().Run();
}

Thank you, Myrek, for 2 things:
1) the titanic job you've been doing with U++,
2) dignity to acknowledge your mistakes.

I'm not questioning the power of U++. I would call that "titanic power" - light yet very strong. Also, I want to find and show for other users the hidden parts of the iceberg to compensate the lack of documantation and features.

The "result" of this discussion is now reference/StatusBar.

Really, to learn U++, go through reference examples. That is the simplest way....

of course You are right i know this, if i dont know how to use somethig (eg widgets) i search this catalog by words inside files ...

You shoud add (and you adding) new examples to the reference katalog... but You can't put there all examples Wink

i remember there are a few experienced UPP users (eg. fudadmin, Daniel and others) i only ask them to put there their own examples ...

don't be angry Wink
