_GuiCtrlCreate_StatusBar has me stumped...

[supadodger]

i am trying to create a statusbar for my gui but reading the help file im not getting anywhere...

$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("11203 of 50000 results", 0, 152, 132, 17)
;GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xF0F0F0)
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("abcdefghijk", 136, 152, 604, 25)
;GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xF0F0F0)
$Progress1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(744, 152, 150, 25)
;$Progress1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(16, 152, 750, 33)
local $Aparts[3] = [126,127,128]
$hstatus = _GUICtrlStatusBar_Create($Form1,$aparts)
;_GuiCtrlStatusbar_SetParts ($hstatus,1,132)
_GUICtrlStatusBar_EmbedControl ($hStatus, 1, $Progress1)
_GUICtrlStatusBar_EmbedControl ($hStatus, 2, $Label1)
_GUICtrlStatusBar_EmbedControl ($hStatus, 3, $Label2)

im trying to have 1 progress bar and 2 text labels inside of my statusbar!

supadodger,

The forum "Search" facility is at top right - might be a good idea to use it now and again.

Then you could easily find out how to do what you want:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiStatusBar.au3>
#include <ProgressConstants.au3>

; Set right edges of status parts
Local $aParts[3] = [150, 300, -1]

; Create GUI
$hGUI = GUICreate("StatusBar Embed Control", 500, 300)

; Create statusbar
$hStatus = _GUICtrlStatusBar_Create($hGUI)
_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetMinHeight($hStatus, 20)
_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetParts($hStatus, $aParts)

GUISetState()

; Set text in first 2 parts
_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetText($hStatus, "11203 of 50000 results")
_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetText($hStatus, "abcdefghijk", 1)

; Embed a progress bar in third part
$hProgress = GUICtrlCreateProgress(0, 0, -1, -1, $PBS_SMOOTH)
$hProgress_Handle = GUICtrlGetHandle($hProgress)
_GUICtrlStatusBar_EmbedControl($hStatus, 2, $hProgress_Handle)

; For progress advance
$iProg_Set = 0
$iBegin = TimerInit()

; Loop until user exits
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch

    ; Make progress advance
    If TimerDiff($iBegin) > 50 Then
        $iProg_Set = Mod($iProg_Set + 1, 100)
        GUICtrlSetData($hProgress, $iProg_Set + 1)
        GUICtrlSetData($hProgress, $iProg_Set)
        $iBegin = TimerInit()
    EndIf

WEnd

You will find that the progress does not reappear if you minimize and restore the GUI - but I will let you find out how to solve that (hint: searching for "+embedded +statusbar" will give you the answer fairly quickly)!
