How to create a status bar (Phoenix)
Keywords : Status bar.
Contents
Introduction :
As its name indicates, the wx.StatusBar widget is used to display application status information.
It can be divided into several parts to show different kind of information.
We can insert other widgets into the wx.StatusBar.
It can be used as an alternative to dialogs, since dialogs are ofted abused and are disliked by most users.
We can create a wx.StatusBar in two ways.
We can manually create our own wx.StatusBar and call SetStatusBar() method or we can simply call a CreateStatusBar() method.
The latter method creates a default wx.StatusBar for us.
In our first example, we have a wx.Frame widget and five other widgets.
If we hover a mouse pointer over a widget, its description is shown on the wx.StatusBar.
