[Pythoncard-users] How do I add a Status Bar at the bottom of the panel?

[Scott C. <sco...@mi...>]

In wxGlade, I can add a StatusBar at the bottom of the panel.  Can I do this in 
PythonCard? I don't see it in the Components pulldown.

It's in the "Background Info" (you can only have one, it can't be 
positioned, doesn't have all the usual characteristics, etc. so it 
doesn't need to be a full-blown component).

In layoutEditor go into menu "Edit / Background info ....", and check 
the box "Status bar on window". You can then refer to it in your code 
simply as  
   self.statusBar.text = "My new status"
or
   text = self.statusBar.text

This gives you a simple, single-field status bar; if you want more than 
that, you should be able to use the wxPython calls directly.

The status bar is an attribute of the background, not a separate component.

If you are using the resourceEditor then from the Edit menu select 
"Background Info ...". On the resulting dialogue window you'll see a 
checkbox titled "Status bar on window". Select it.

Andy
