Implemented Interfaces

GtkStatusbar implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkOrientable.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

Description

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.

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.

Any messages added to a statusbar's stack must specify a context id 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.

One could say that a statusbar maintains one stack of messages for display purposes, but allows multiple message producers to maintain sub-stacks of the messages they produced (via context ids).

Status bars are created using gtk_statusbar_new().

Messages are added to the bar's stack with gtk_statusbar_push().

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 its message_id was recorded at the time it was added. This is done using gtk_statusbar_remove().

Functions

gtk_statusbar_new ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_statusbar_new (void);

Creates a new GtkStatusbar ready for messages.

Returns

the new GtkStatusbar


gtk_statusbar_get_context_id ()

guint
gtk_statusbar_get_context_id (GtkStatusbar *statusbar,
                              const gchar *context_description);

Returns a new context identifier, given a description of the actual context. Note that the description is not shown in the UI.

Parameters

statusbar

a GtkStatusbar

 

context_description

textual description of what context the new message is being used in

 

Returns

an integer id


gtk_statusbar_push ()

guint
gtk_statusbar_push (GtkStatusbar *statusbar,
                    guint context_id,
                    const gchar *text);

Pushes a new message onto a statusbar's stack.

Parameters

statusbar

a GtkStatusbar

 

context_id

the message's context id, as returned by gtk_statusbar_get_context_id()

 

text

the message to add to the statusbar

 

Returns

a message id that can be used with gtk_statusbar_remove().


gtk_statusbar_pop ()

void
gtk_statusbar_pop (GtkStatusbar *statusbar,
                   guint context_id);

Removes the first message in the GtkStatusBar's stack with the given context id.

Note that this may not change the displayed message, if the message at the top of the stack has a different context id.

Parameters

statusbar

a GtkStatusBar

 

context_id

a context identifier

 

gtk_statusbar_remove ()

void
gtk_statusbar_remove (GtkStatusbar *statusbar,
                      guint context_id,
                      guint message_id);

Forces the removal of a message from a statusbar's stack. The exact context_id and message_id must be specified.

Parameters

statusbar

a GtkStatusBar

 

context_id

a context identifier

 

message_id

a message identifier, as returned by gtk_statusbar_push()

 

gtk_statusbar_remove_all ()

void
gtk_statusbar_remove_all (GtkStatusbar *statusbar,
                          guint context_id);

Forces the removal of all messages from a statusbar's stack with the exact context_id .

Parameters

statusbar

a GtkStatusBar

 

context_id

a context identifier
