Description

The »rtl_statusbar« command creates a »rtl_statusbar« window.

Implements a Statusbar window known from Microsoft® Windows®. This statusbar combines status messages together with a progress indicator.

»rtl_statusbar« can cooperate with »rtl_tooltip«. Here rtl_tooltip is responsible to extract the status message from the ».help« Option Database entry and sends it to the statusbar.

2008 / Lex ttk Description: RunTimeLibrary Statusbar Implementation Implements a progressbar and statusbar.

Window Command

A Window created through the rtl_statusbar command exposes various functions. Using these functions has the following general form:

object.option(?arg, arg, ...?)

PathName is the same as the window path name. Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for this window:

object.cget(option)

Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the rtl_statusbar command.

object.configure(?option? ?=value, option=value, ...?)

Query or modify the configuration options of the window. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given window option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values accepted by the rtl_statusbar command.

object.progress( typ ?value? )

Progress bar flash
