Class: Gtk::Statusbar
- Defined in:
- (unknown)
Overview
A GtkStatusbar widget is usually placed along the bottom of an application's
main [classGtk.Window].
A GtkStatusBar 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 [methodGtk.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 [ctorGtk.Statusbar.new].
Messages are added to the bar’s stack with [methodGtk.Statusbar.push].
The message at the top of the stack can be removed using [methodGtk.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 [methodGtk.Statusbar.remove].

Constructor Details
#initialize ⇒ Gtk::Widget
Creates a new GtkStatusbar ready for messages.
Instance Method Details

Returns a new context identifier, given a description of the actual context.
Note that the description is not shown in the UI.
#pop(context_id) ⇒ nil

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.
#push(context_id, text) ⇒ Integer
Pushes a new message onto a statusbar’s stack.
#remove(context_id, message_id) ⇒ nil
Forces the removal of a message from a statusbar’s stack. The exact context_id and message_id must be specified.
#remove_all(context_id) ⇒ nil
Forces the removal of all messages from a statusbar's stack with the exact context_id.
