TdxCustomStatusBar Class

The base class for advanced status bar controls.

Declaration

TdxCustomStatusBar = class(
    TcxControl,
    IdxSkinSupport
)

Remarks

Advanced status bar controls inherited from the TdxCustomStatusBar class allow you to use highly customizable status bars in your applications and provide rich functionality and nice visualization features, compared with the standard Win32 status bar. With the advanced status bars you can:

Customize the appearance and style of the labels displayed in the status bar.
Insert components into the status bar, by using it as a container.
Automatically track the state of the keyboard special keys, such as CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK, SCROLL LOCK and INSERT.
Use visual “light” indicators to represent the state of various devices such as modems, network controllers and others.
And much more.

Do not create instances of the TdxCustomStatusBar class directly. Use it as the base for your custom classes only. Normally, you will use the TdxStatusBar or TdxRibbonStatusBar control, which inherit TdxCustomStatusBar features.

Below are the examples of the TdxStatusBar component:
