Code Example: Create and Populate Indicator Panels

The following code example creates an indicator panel in an existing TdxStatusBarPanel component and populates the panel with five different indicators:

Delphi

uses
  dxStatusBar;  // Declares the TdxStatusBarPanel component and all related types
// ...

var
  AIndicatorPanel: TdxStatusBarPanel;
  AIndicators: TdxStatusBarStateIndicators;
begin
  AIndicatorPanel := dxStatusBar1.Panels.Add;
  AIndicatorPanel.PanelStyleClass := TdxStatusBarStateIndicatorPanelStyle;
  AIndicators := (AIndicatorPanel.PanelStyle as TdxStatusBarStateIndicatorPanelStyle).Indicators;
  AIndicators.BeginUpdate;  // Initiates the following batch change
  try
    AIndicators.Add.IndicatorType := sitRed;
    AIndicators.Add.IndicatorType := sitYellow;
    AIndicators.Add.IndicatorType := sitGreen;
    AIndicators.Add.IndicatorType := sitPurple;
    AIndicators.Add.IndicatorType := sitOff;
  finally
    AIndicators.EndUpdate;  // Calls EndUpdate regardless of the batch operation's success
  end;
end;

C++

#include "dxStatusBar.hpp"  // Declares the TdxStatusBarPanel component and all related types

// Add the following linker directive to the corresponding CPP source file:
#pragma link "dxStatusBar"  // Required to use dxStatusBar.hpp declarations

  // ...
  TdxStatusBarPanel *AIndicatorPanel;
  TdxStatusBarStateIndicators *AIndicators;

  AIndicatorPanel = dxStatusBar1->Panels->Add();
  AIndicatorPanel->PanelStyleClass = __classid(TdxStatusBarStateIndicatorPanelStyle);
  AIndicators = dynamic_cast<TdxStatusBarStateIndicatorPanelStyle*>(AIndicatorPanel->PanelStyle)->Indicators;
  AIndicators->BeginUpdate();  // Initiates the following batch change
  try
  {
    AIndicators->Add()->IndicatorType = sitRed;
    AIndicators->Add()->IndicatorType = stiYellow;
    AIndicators->Add()->IndicatorType = sitGreen;
    AIndicators->Add()->IndicatorType = sitPurple;
    AIndicators->Add()->IndicatorType = sitOff;
  }
  __finally
  {
    AIndicators->EndUpdate();  // Calls EndUpdate regardless of the batch operation's success
  }
