Class StatusBar

A status bar is a View that snaps to the bottom of a Toplevel displaying set of StatusItems. The StatusBar should be context sensitive. This means, if the main menu and an open text editor are visible, the items probably shown will be ~F1~ Help ~F2~ Save ~F3~ Load. While a dialog to ask a file to load is executed, the remaining commands will probably be ~F1~ Help. So for each context must be a new instance of a statusbar.

Constructors

StatusBar()

Initializes a new instance of the StatusBar class.
Declaration
public StatusBar()

StatusBar(StatusItem[])

Initializes a new instance of the StatusBar class with the specified set of StatusItems. The StatusBar will be drawn on the lowest line of the terminal or SuperView (if not null).
Declaration
public StatusBar(StatusItem[] items)
Parameters
Type Name Description
StatusItem[] items A list of statusbar items.

The items that compose the StatusBar
Declaration
public StatusItem[] Items { get; set; }
Property Value

StatusItem[]

Methods

Dispose(Boolean)

Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.
Declaration
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Boolean disposing
Overrides
Remarks
If disposing equals true, the method has been called directly or indirectly by a user's code. Managed and unmanaged resources can be disposed. If disposing equals false, the method has been called by the runtime from inside the finalizer and you should not reference other objects. Only unmanaged resources can be disposed.

MouseEvent(MouseEvent)

Method invoked when a mouse event is generated
Declaration
public override bool MouseEvent(MouseEvent me)
Parameters
Type Name Description
MouseEvent me
Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean true, if the event was handled, false otherwise.
Overrides

ProcessHotKey(KeyEvent)

This method can be overwritten by view that want to provide accelerator functionality (Alt-key for example).
Declaration
public override bool ProcessHotKey(KeyEvent kb)
Parameters
Type Name Description
KeyEvent kb
Returns
Type Description
System.Boolean
Overrides
Remarks

Before keys are sent to the subview on the current view, all the views are processed and the key is passed to the widgets to allow some of them to process the keystroke as a hot-key.

For example, if you implement a button that has a hotkey ok "o", you would catch the combination Alt-o here. If the event is caught, you must return true to stop the keystroke from being dispatched to other views.

Redraw(Rect)

Redraws this view and its subviews; only redraws the views that have been flagged for a re-display.
Declaration
public override void Redraw(Rect bounds)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Rect bounds The bounds (view-relative region) to redraw.
Overrides
Remarks

Always use Bounds (view-relative) when calling Redraw(Rect), NOT Frame (superview-relative).

Views should set the color that they want to use on entry, as otherwise this will inherit the last color that was set globally on the driver.

Overrides of Redraw(Rect) must ensure they do not set Driver.Clip to a clip region larger than the region parameter.
