A #GtkStatusbar is usually placed along the bottom of an application's main
|
|
#GtkWindow. It may provide a regular commentary of the application's status
|
|
(as is usually the case in a web browser, for example), or may be used to
|
|
simply output a message when the status changes, (when an upload is complete
|
|
in an FTP client, for example).
|
|
It may also have a resize grip (a triangular area in the lower right corner)
|
|
which can be clicked on to resize the window containing the statusbar.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Status bars in Gtk+ maintain a stack of messages. The message at
|
|
the top of the each bar's stack is the one that will currently be displayed.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Any messages added to a statusbar's stack must specify a <emphasis>context_id</emphasis>
|
|
that is used to uniquely identify the source of a message. This context_id can be
|
|
generated by gtk_statusbar_get_context_id(), given a message and the
|
|
statusbar that it will be added to. Note that messages are stored in a
|
|
stack, and when choosing which message to display, the stack structure is
|
|
adhered to, regardless of the context identifier of a message.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Status bars are created using gtk_statusbar_new().
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Messages are added to the bar's stack with gtk_statusbar_push().
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The message at the top of the stack can be removed using gtk_statusbar_pop(). A message can be removed from anywhere in the stack if it's message_id was recorded at the time it was added. This is done using gtk_statusbar_remove().
