_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetText

[davezub]

So I'm venturing in the world of Autoit GUI for the first time - most of stuff is CLI utilities. Pretty slick. So I have my GUI looking pretty good and it works so I think a status bar would be nice. I have everything working well, however, I was wondering if there is a way to change the font style/color of the Status Bar Text?

I've tried GUICtrlSetFont and GUISetFont with no luck.

Thanks.

Example:

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiStatusBar.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <FontConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

Global $hFont

Dim $aParts[3] = [100, 250]
Dim $aPartsText[2] = ["System info", "Current directory"]

$hGUI = GUICreate("Statusbar custom font demo", 400, 300)

$hStatus = _GUICtrlStatusBar_Create($hGUI, $aParts, $aPartsText)

_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetFont($hStatus, 16, 800, 2 + 4, "Tahoma")

GUISetState()

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

_WinAPI_DeleteObject($hFont)

Func _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetFont($hWnd, $iHeight = 15, $iWeight = 400, $iFontAtrributes = 0, $sFontName = "Arial")
    $hFont = _WinAPI_CreateFont($iHeight, 0, 0, 0, $iWeight, BitAND($iFontAtrributes, 2), BitAND($iFontAtrributes, 4), _
                                BitAND($iFontAtrributes, 8), $DEFAULT_CHARSET, $OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, $CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, _
                                $DEFAULT_QUALITY, 0, $sFontName)

    _SendMessage($hWnd, $WM_SETFONT, $hFont, 1)
EndFunc   ;==>_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetFont

@rasim

_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetFont() is absolutely great.

It should be added to standard includes.

[davezub]

Rasim,

Beautiful - Thanks. As Zedna said this would be a great addition.

@Zedna

Thanks

@davezub

Glad to help

statusbar text colour is a bit more problematic as it requires ownerdrawing and more code

this example is a modified version of Rasim's demo with ownerdraw code added for statusbar part text and background colour

Cheers

Hi!

Great work my friend! Thank you for sharing!

Hi!

Hey Rasim!

thanks

and Happy New Year

read the UDF sticky, get the template software and submit _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetFont() to Gary!

I could not get _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetBkColor() to work even with XPStyle UDF to turn off themes (Valuater posted on this).

made a version of _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetColor() with option to set fonts per StatusBar part to compliment your default font UDF.

perhaps when I clean the code up a bit I'll post to the examples forum.

be seeing you

Ok, in waiting...
