Enhanced Status Bar

The library includes an advanced status bar control, which replaces the standard MFC status bar.

It allows you to add animation, text, or a progress bar to your status bar pane quickly.

The status bar comes with the following features:

• Status bar pane progress bar
• The status bar pane includes images, animations, and text strings.
• Custom foreground/background pane color
• Mouse events notification (mouse double-click handling)
• Status bar pane notification badges support

Status bar with icon, progress bar, animation and pane with custom colors:

Sample code:

CBCGPStatusBar	m_wndStatusBar;
CBitmap			m_bmpStatusBarIcon;

static UINT indicators[] =
{
	ID_INDICATOR_ICON,		// status icon
	ID_SEPARATOR,           // status line indicator
	ID_INDICATOR_PROGRESS,	// progress bar
	ID_INDICATOR_LABEL,		// text label
	ID_INDICATOR_ANIMATION,	// animation pane
	ID_INDICATOR_CAPS,
	ID_INDICATOR_NUM,
	ID_INDICATOR_SCRL,
};

int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
	...

	// Create status bar control:
	if (!m_wndStatusBar.Create(this) ||
		!m_wndStatusBar.SetIndicators(indicators,
		  sizeof(indicators)/sizeof(UINT)))
	{
		TRACE0("Failed to create status bar\n");
		return -1;      // fail to create
	}

	// Set pane image:
	m_bmpStatusBarIcon.LoadBitmap (IDB_STATUS);
	m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneIcon (0, m_bmpStatusBarIcon);

	// Set pane progress:
	m_wndStatusBar.EnablePaneProgressBar (1, PROGRESS_MAX);
}

void CMainFrame::OnTimer (UINT nIDEvent)
{
	m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneProgress (1, m_nProgressCurr);
}
