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).
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.
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.
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 |
||
context_id |
the message’s context id, as returned by
|
|
text |
the message to add to the statusbar |
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.
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 |
||
context_id |
a context identifier |
|
message_id |
a message identifier, as returned by |
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
.
Since 2.22
gtk_statusbar_get_message_area ()
GtkWidget *
gtk_statusbar_get_message_area (GtkStatusbar *statusbar);
Retrieves the box containing the label widget.
Since 2.20
