MFC allows you to easily add status bars to cframewnd-derived windows. however, if you want to add a status bar to a diver, you're going to find the going just a bit more difficult.
Basically, it turned out that I had to dig very deep into the MFC documentation in order to find anything to help me out. one example I found is by zekser Cyril. his techniques works fine, but (IMHO) is not very "clean" since you have to place an invisible static object on the dialog as a kind of placeholder for the status bar. however, I do want to thank him very much for showing me the light at the end of the tunnel.
The technique I came up with works like this: first, you need to develop your dialog (and define its cdialog-based class). nothing new here so far.
Then, insert the following code into the cdialog: oninitdiwing function (the m_statbar variable is of TypeCstatusbarctrl).
BOOL CMyDlg::OnInitDialog(){CDialog::OnInitDialog();// Set the icon for this dialog. The framework does this automatically// when the application's main window is not a dialogSetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE);// Set big iconSetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE);// Set small icon/************************************************************************//*Adding STATUSBAR*//************************************************************************/int nTotWide;// total width of status barCRect rect; this->GetWindowRect(&rect); rect.top = rect.bottom- 25;m_bRvStatOk = m_StatBar.Create(WS_CHILD | WS_BORDER | WS_VISIBLE ,rect,this, IDC_STATUSBAR); if (m_bRvStatOk == NULL){ AfxMessageBox ("Status Bar not created!", NULL, MB_OK );}// //get size of window, use to configure the status //bar with four separate parts // CRect rWin; this->GetWindowRect(&rWin); nTotWide = rWin.right-rWin.left;//// Make each part 1/4 of the total width of the window.// m_Widths[0] = nTotWide / 4; m_Widths[1] = nTotWide / 2; m_Widths[2] = nTotWide - m_Widths[0]; m_Widths[3] = -1;m_StatBar.SetMinHeight(25);m_StatBar.SetParts( 4, m_Widths);//// now lets put some text, different styles into parts of status bar//m_StatBar.SetText("WITH BORDER.", 0,0);m_StatBar.SetText("WITHOUT BORDER.",1,SBT_NOBORDERS);m_StatBar.SetText("POPUP.",2,SBT_POPOUT); ////make the last part owner-drawn, add a bitmap//m_StatBar.SetText(NULL,3, SBT_OWNERDRAW);//hBmp is a Global Variable of type HBITMAP hBmp = ::LoadBitmap(AfxGetInstanceHandle(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_BITMAP1));/************************************************************************//*End STATUSBAR*//************************************************************************/// TODO: Add extra initialization herereturn TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control}
The fourth pane of the status bar is owner drawn because it is used to display a bitmap. In order to do this, simply add a message handler for the dialog's WM_DRAWITEM message. Once you've added that function, update it so that when finished it looks like the following.
void CMyDlg::OnDrawItem(int nIDCtl, LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDrawItemStruct){//// Draw bitmap in status bar//HDC hdcMem;// device context for memory HGDIOBJ hbmOld; // old bitmap area we're over-writing BITMAP bm;// bitmap we're using// // Create a compatible DC in memory//hdcMem = CreateCompatibleDC(lpDrawItemStruct->hDC); // Select the "logo.bmp" bitmap into the DC. hbmOld = ::SelectObject(hdcMem, hBmp); // Get the size of the bitmap ::GetObject(hBmp, sizeof(bm), &bm); // Blt the bitmap to the part. BitBlt(lpDrawItemStruct->hDC,lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem.left, lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem.top, bm.bmWidth, bm.bmHeight, hdcMem, 0, 0,SRCCOPY);//// Add some text..1st. get bounding rectangle, then position & display text//char szText[16];RECT rText; // text rectanglerText.left = lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem.left+24;rText.top = lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem.top;rText.right = lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem.right-20;rText.bottom = lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem.bottom; // // add some text after the logo bitmap here //memset(szText,0,sizeof(szText));strcpy(szText,"LOGO");// text to drawSelectObject( lpDrawItemStruct->hDC, GetStockObject( ANSI_VAR_FONT ) );::SetBkColor(lpDrawItemStruct->hDC, 0x00c0c0c0); // set background color ExtTextOut(lpDrawItemStruct->hDC, lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem.left+24, lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem.top+4, ETO_OPAQUE, &rText, szText, strlen(szText),NULL );// draw the text in the rectangle rText//// End adding text. Reselect the original object into the DC.// SelectObject(hdcMem, hbmOld); // Delete the compatible DC. DeleteDC(hdcMem);}
Make the following changes to the dialog's header file.
class CMyDlg : public CDialog{// Constructionpublic:CMyDlg(CWnd* pParent = NULL);// standard constructorCStatusBarCtrlm_StatBar;..............................................................................................................}
CStatusBarCtrlm_StatBar;
.....................................
...................................
......................................
}
Finally, make the following changes to the resource.h file.
//{{NO_DEPENDENCIES}}// Microsoft Developer Studio generated include file.//#define IDM_ABOUTBOX0x0010#define IDC_STATUSBAR 32500..............................................................................................................
That's it! You now have a status bar at the bottom of your dialog!
