Questions tagged [qstatusbar]

The QStatusBar class provides a horizontal bar suitable for presenting status information.

The QStatusBar class provides a horizontal bar suitable for presenting status information. Each status indicator falls into one of three categories:

  • Temporary - briefly occupies most of the status bar. Used to explain tool tip texts or menu entries, for example.
  • Normal - occupies part of the status bar and may be hidden by temporary messages. Used to display the page and line number in a word processor, for example.

  • Permanent - is never hidden. Used for important mode indications, for example, some applications put a Caps Lock indicator in the status bar.

    QStatusBar can display all three types of indicators.

Typically, a request for the status bar functionality occurs in relation to a QMainWindow object. The related functions are

  • showMessage()
  • clearMessage()
  • currentMessage()
