Create a statusbar
#include <GuiStatusBar.au3>
_GUICtrlStatusBar_Create ( $hWnd [, $vPartEdge = -1 [, $vPartText = "" [, $iStyles = -1 [, $iExStyles = 0x00000000]]]] )
$hWnd | Handle to parent window |
$vPartEdge | [optional] Width of part or parts, for more than 1 part pass in 0-based array in the following format: $vPartEdge[0] - Right edge of part #1 $vPartEdge[1] - Right edge of part #2 $vPartEdge[n] - Right edge of part n |
$vPartText | [optional] Text of part or parts, for more than 1 part pass in 0-based array in the following format: $vPartText[0] - First part $vPartText[1] - Second part $vPartText[n] - Last part |
$iStyles | [optional] Control styles: $SBARS_SIZEGRIP - The status bar control will include a sizing grip at the right end of the status bar $SBARS_TOOLTIPS - The status bar will have tooltips Forced: $WS_CHILD, $WS_VISIBLE |
$iExStyles | [optional] Control extended style. These correspond to the standard $WS_EX_* constants. See Extended Style Table. |
Success: | the handle to the control. |
Failure: | 0, @error can be set (see remark). |
If $hWnd referenced Window is not in the same process, the @error is set to 4.
If using GUICtrlCreateMenu() then use _GUICtrlStatusBar_Create() after GUICtrlCreateMenu().
