Detailed Description

The QStatusBar class provides a horizontal area for presenting status information. When a QMainWindow is used to create a GUI application a QStatusBar object is constructed when the statusbar() method is called. The status bar will be displayed at the bottom of the main window. To provide your own status bar, create a new QStatusBar object and then pass it to setStatusBar().

Every status message is one of the following category types.

Temporary: Briefly occupies most of the status bar, used to explain tool tip texts or menu entries
Normal: Occupies part of the status bar and may be hidden by temporary messages, can be used to display the current line number in a text editor
Permanent: Never hidden, used for important mode notifications

Temporary Messages

To display a temporary message on the left side of the status bar call the methods showMessage(). Calling the method currentMessage() returns the temporary message currently being displayed. The QStatusBar class also provide the messageChanged() signal which is emitted whenever the temporary status message changes.

void MainWindow::createStatusBar()
{
    statusBar()->showMessage(tr("Ready"));
}

To remove a temporary message use clearMessage(). If a numeric value is passed as the third parameter when calling showMessage() the message will disappear after the given time has elapsed.

void MainWindow::print()
{
   QTextDocument *document = textEdit->document();
   QPrinter printer;
 
   QPrintDialog *dlg = new QPrintDialog(&printer, this);
 
   if (dlg->exec() != QDialog::Accepted) {
      return;
   }
 
   document->print(&printer);
 
   statusBar()->showMessage(tr("Ready"), 2000);
}

Normal and Permanent Messages

Messages of these two types are typically displayed by creating a small widget like a QLabel, QProgressBar, or QToolButton. The widget is added to the status bar using the addWidget() or the addPermanentWidget() methods.

QLabel *statusLabel = new QLabel("Some Normal Message");

statusBar()->addWidget(statusLabel);

Window Resizing

By default QStatusBar provides a QSizeGrip in the lower right corner. You can disable it using the setSizeGripEnabled() method. Use the isSizeGripEnabled() method to determine the current status of the size grip.

See also: QMainWindow, QStatusTipEvent

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QStatusBar::QStatusBar ( QWidget * parent = nullptr )

explicit

Constructs a status bar with a size grip and the given parent.

See also: setSizeGripEnabled()

QStatusBar::~QStatusBar ( )

virtual

Destroys this status bar and frees any allocated resources and child widgets.

Method Documentation

void QStatusBar::addPermanentWidget	(	QWidget *	widget,
		int	stretch = `0`
	)

Adds the given widget as a permanent element to this status bar. The current status bar becomes the parent of the given widget. The stretch is used to compute a suitable size for the given widget as the status bar grows and shrinks. The default stretch factor is 0 which gives the widget the minimum space.

A permanent widget will not be obscured by temporary messages. This widget will be located at the far right of the status bar.

See also: insertPermanentWidget(), removeWidget(), addWidget()

void QStatusBar::addWidget	(	QWidget *	widget,
		int	stretch = `0`
	)

Adds the given widget as a normal element to this status bar. The current status bar becomes the parent of the given widget. The stretch parameter is used to compute a suitable size for the given widget as the status bar grows and shrinks. The default stretch factor is 0 which gives the widget the minimum space.

The widget is located to the left of the first permanent widget and may be obscured by temporary messages.

See also: insertWidget(), removeWidget(), addPermanentWidget()

void QStatusBar::clearMessage ( )

slot

Removes any temporary messages.

See also: currentMessage(), showMessage(), removeWidget()

QString QStatusBar::currentMessage ( ) const

Returns the temporary message currently shown or an empty string if there is no such message.

See also: showMessage()

bool QStatusBar::event ( QEvent * event )

overrideprotected

Reimplemented from QWidget::event()

void QStatusBar::hideOrShow ( )

protected

Ensures the widgets on the right side are visible. Used by the showMessage() and clearMessage() methods.

int QStatusBar::insertPermanentWidget	(	int	index,
		QWidget *	widget,
		int	stretch = `0`
	)

Inserts the given widget as a permanent element at the given index to this status bar. The current status bar becomes the parent of the given widget. If index is out of range, the widget is appended. The stretch parameter is used to compute a suitable size for the given widget as the status bar grows and shrinks. The default stretch factor is 0 which gives the widget the minimum space.

A permanent widget will not be obscured by temporary messages. This widget will be located at the far right of the status bar. This method returns the position where the widget was added.

See also: addPermanentWidget(), removeWidget(), addWidget()

int QStatusBar::insertWidget	(	int	index,
		QWidget *	widget,
		int	stretch = `0`
	)

Inserts the given widget at the given index to this status bar. The current status bar becomes the parent of the given widget. If index is out of range, the widget is appended. The value for stretch is used to change the size for the given widget as the status bar grows and shrinks. The default stretch factor is 0 which gives the widget the minimum space.

This method returns the position where the widget was added.

See also: addWidget(), removeWidget(), addPermanentWidget()

bool QStatusBar::isSizeGripEnabled ( ) const

Returns the value of the property.

void QStatusBar::messageChanged ( const QString & msg )

signal

This signal is emitted when the temporary status message changes. The message is passed in msg. If the new message is an empty string the message has been removed.

See also: showMessage(), clearMessage()

void QStatusBar::paintEvent ( QPaintEvent * event )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Shows the temporary message in response to the paint event.

Reimplemented from QWidget::paintEvent()

void QStatusBar::reformat ( )

protected

Changes the status bar appearance to account for item changes. Special subclasses may need this method, but geometry management will usually take care of any necessary reformatting.

void QStatusBar::removeWidget ( QWidget * widget )

Removes the specified widget from the status bar. This method does not delete the widget but hides it. To add the widget again, you must call both the addWidget() and show() methods.

See also: addWidget(), addPermanentWidget(), clearMessage()

void QStatusBar::resizeEvent ( QResizeEvent * event )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Reimplemented from QWidget::resizeEvent()

void QStatusBar::setSizeGripEnabled ( bool enabled )

Sets the value of the property to enabled.

void QStatusBar::showEvent ( QShowEvent * event )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Reimplemented from QWidget::showEvent()

void QStatusBar::showMessage	(	const QString &	msg,
		int	timeout = `0`
	)

slot

Hides the normal status indications and displays the given msg for the number of milliseconds specified by timeout. If timeout is 0, the message remains displayed until the clearMessage() slot is called or until the showMessage() slot is called again to change the message.

This method is called to show temporary explanations of tool tip texts. Passing a timeout of 0 is not sufficient to display a permanent message.

See also: messageChanged(), currentMessage(), clearMessage()

Property Documentation

QStatusBar::sizeGripEnabled

This property holds whether the QSizeGrip in the bottom-right corner of the status bar is enabled. The size grip is enabled by default.
